1. Make sure your kernel is configured to use the busmouse.
If you don't already have one, make yourself a kernel config file.
cd /sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC <pick a name, in all caps>
2. Now, edit the file you created in step 1 (or, use the kernel config
file you're currently using). Make sure that this line is in the
file:
device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 5 vector mseintr
^^^^^ ^
Replace the two marked numbers with the I/O port and the IRQ of your
busmouse card. (These defaults should be OK for a Logitech mouse port
card).
3. Now, recompile your kernel.
cd /sys/i386/conf
config <name of your kernel config file>
cd ../../compile/<name of your kernel config file>
make clean ; make depend ; make all ; make install
Then reboot.
4. Make sure the mouse device file exists. Do this:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV mse0
5. Edit (or create) /etc/XF86Config. If this file doesn't exist, a
good way of creating it interactively is to run the 'xf86config'
program.
Either way, look for the following lines: and make the modifications
indicated.
# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Busmouse"
Device "/dev/mse0"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Protocol "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice
# BaudRate 9600
# SampleRate 150
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Buttons
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# ChordMiddle
EndSection
The last two options above should be played with, if your middle
mouse button doesn't work right. Most Logitech bus mice should
work OK, but some weird clones and other non-standard hardware might
require a little extra help.
Anyway, there it is, in a nutshell. Hope that helps...
