'Lo,

My mouse still hates me, but I know much more since my last missive here.

I've indeed verified I have a Logitech Busmouse, and it's at IRQ 5 and 
it's not having conflicts with anything else.  I can see my floppy drives 
and the mouse on startup;  the probes are all happy.

The pointer section from my XF86Config file:

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol "Busmouse" 
    Device "/dev/mse0" 
EndSection

X starts up now, which is cool...but the mouse doesn't move.  When I move 
the mouse, I can see the pointer on the screen, shaking, wanting to move, 
but...not.  I've tried a whole host of variations here to get the thing 
to work, but what invariably happens is the mouse shoots off to the edge 
of the screen somewhere and jams.

I've waded through the e-mail and news archives...boy, there are a lot of 
people who are also hated by their mice!  I've been doing this so long 
I'm falling into a deep fog, so if anyone has any ideas I would be 
eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Brian
