Well I googled my mouse, and found a bug report and several questions, but no
solutions to the problem. I'm sure it's doable, but I don't want to spend
the time with it right now. The PS/2 mouse that doesn't work is from another
system anyway.
I have a spare serial mouse around, so I'll use it. What do I need to do in
the X config file to set up the serial mouse as opposed to PS/2?

Okay, I have ports installed... but... um... now what? tehe. I've never used
Gentoo, so I'm at a loss. How do I go about installing those packages...
Thanx,
