I have Linux 1.0.9 runnung on my 486 and I'm trying to get my Logitec
busmouse to work with Xfree 2.1.1. I know there isn't a hardware problem
because it works fine when I boot DOS. I have the IRQ set to five and didn't
install the non-X mouse stuff that may mess up the mouse. Hase anyone else
had a similar problem and/or have helpful hints how to get it to work. When
I startx, the message I get it that it can't find /dev/mouse and it's there and
linked to /dev/bmouselogitec. I assume the install created it with the
correct major/minor numbers.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dave Hassel

You have to recompile the kernel with support for the mouse driver. I had to do this when
I installed Linux a week ago for the first time. I think what you have to do is go to the
directory /usr/src/linux or something similar and there you will find instructions on how
to do this. A good idea is to get the HOWTO files and read them before you attempt it.

Hope this helps.
