 Hiyas :)

Thanks for the feedback on my "Da Mouse" question, letting me know that mse0
is reserved for other mouse types than the standard microsoft mouse.

I now have the mouse on /dev/cuaa1, and in X-Windows on /dev/sysmouse.  I
called Logitech, and they assured my that my mouse supports only the
standard microsoft protocol, and nothing else, and that it is a 1200 baud,
X-on/off device.

The system is at a point now where I can bring up X-Windows successfully.
However the mouse acts in an entirely spastic manner.  It always returns to
the upper left of the screen immediately, and isn't acting in any reasonable
fashion, but it is acting (up). ;o)

Do I have to set the baud rate in other than the /etc/rc.conf and
/etc/XF86Config files?  Anyone else had this problem?  (BTW, the mouse runs
fine under Win95.)

I running FreeBSD 2.2.2 from the Walnut Creek CD.

Any feedback on this would certainly be appreciated.  I'm getting very tired
of changing configuration and rebooting.

P.S.  For reference, if any of you need tech support at Logitech, their
number is 702-269-3457.
