Hi,

I am trying to install XFree86, but I don't know how to determine which /dev/ 
file to set it up with, and which protocol to use.  With the monitor and video 
card setups, I can look in the manuals, and find which settings to use, but I 
don't have any information about the mouse, other than that it is a new 
Logitech 3 button mouse.

I tried to follow the installation instructions for X, but I couldn't 
determine which device to use using dmesg or which one was the mouse using cat 
< /dev/various_devices_here.

Thanks, 
Andy
