I recently upgraded my system to a 33 mhz 386, and decided to go with a serial Logitech Mouseman (right handed version) instead of a Bus version. The long and short of it is: I can't get X11 (ISC Version 1.2) to initialize. I get a message about being unable to contact the mouse, or some such. I haven't tried hacking on this too hard yet, as I figured that one of you savants out here on the net would probably have the lowdown on the driver compatibility of this "new" mouse design from Logitech. By the way, the mouse does work correctly under VP/IX when the Logitech DOS driver is initialized in the autoexec.bat file. The mouse is on /dev/tty01, and the entry in the inittab is turned off so that nothing else should have locked the device. Thanks in advance.

This should probably go in the FAQ posting (*is* there an FAQ posting in this newsgroup?) The new "Logitech" Mouseman mice are actually Microsoft mice in disguise. Really, I'm not making this up! Oh, they're manufactured and sold by Logitech, but they're Microsoft-compatible, *not* Logitech-compatible! So configure your system for a Microsft mouse, and kiss your middle mouse button good-bye!
