When I boot up I get: device sio0 at 0xf38-0x3ff irq4 on isa type 16450 I ran xf86config. I tried a two button mouse or a three button mouse. For the device I chose /dev/psm0 since I did not see /dev/mouse and don't know how to make a device. I read something about reconfiguring the kernel, but I don't think that I have the source code ( unless it comes with the bin distribution.) When I do startx, I get a fatal error saying that the mouse is not configured. Thanks
