[plug] Help!!! - with XFree86 mouse setup

[Andrew Marsh]

I've got a Genius HiMouse that works perfectly under Windoze
and under Linux on a PII 350 running ZipSlack - configured
in XF86Config as:

    Section "Pointer"
       Protocol        "Microsoft"
       Device          "/dev/mouse"
       BaudRate        1200
       Resolution      100
       Buttons         3
    EndSection

Same copy of ZipSlack on a bunch of P150s that I'm running
a Linux tutorial first thing tomorrow morning on - both XF86Setup
and gpm say there is no such device as "/dev/mouse".  Hence the X
server won't start.  This might make things a little difficult tomorrow.

I've tried every combination of Protocol and Device I can think of.
Auto doesn't work because their not PnP.  Using "Micorsoft" and
"/dev/tty0" the server will run, but with no mouse.

Please...... any ideas before 9:00am???
