Howdy!

  I seem to be having a bit of trouble installing the X-Window system.  =
I have
a Dell P75 with 5 Gigs and 64 Meg of RAM.  The error I get concerns the =
mouse.  I use the xf86config utility and select a PS/2 mouse (mine is a
Microsoft mouse with 2 buttons).  The rest of the configuration runs =
just fine but when I type 'startx' from the command line I get 'Mouse =
not configured'.
How do I configure a mouse???  Did the xf86config utility not do this?  =
I have
the /dev/mouse device which is linking to /dev/psm0.  The 'cat < =
/dev/mouse' trick says the same message.  Any ideas?
