I follow the readme of X and start configuring the XF86Config file. I encounter the following problem: I type xdm -nodaemon to test XDM and get the message: Fatal error: Can't find /dev/mouse something like that I go to /dev and follow the readme procedure to dmesg|grep sio and get sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff ........ also I try ./MAKEDEV tty00 and use cat < /dev/tty00 to see whether mouse response but get no such file tty00 error.... BTW: MAKEDEV tty00 will make tty*0 device. Am I correct?
