hi,

I'm trying to set up a Pentium with a PS/2 auxiliary-port mouse
that has three buttons.  I seem to have Xfree86 configured properly
(from /etc/XF86Config:)

Section "Pointer"
#    Protocol    "microsoft"
    Protocol    "PS/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"


which causes the the X server logs the following in my xdm-errors file:

	(**) Mouse: type: PS/2, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200

Yet the mouse appears, well, spastic. It seems stuck at the lower
left-hand corner, I can't  move it away from there controllably,
and the X server thinks that the mouse buttons are down all the time
when, in fact, they're not. 

I'm using pccons and I've made sure I'm not running a getty on
the console.  I have double-checked that the pms device is configured
and I've rerun MAKEDEV in /dev to create the special file and link
/dev/mouse to it.

With Linux, XFree86 3.1.2E(?), on the same hardware and with the same
XF86Config, the mouse works fine.  (it's a Logitech M-S35 ps-aux
3-button mouse.)

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
