I didn't really want any other help besides an example line for /etc/ttys
at the time, that's why I didn't specify what port of Net I was using,
etc. It's i386, Kingston mouse-in-a-box (very nice mouse by the
way, if only I could get it working), X11R6.3 (XF3.2A), btw. I did
some messing around with no luck so I tried booting the WinEver95 disk
from my mom's computer and it had problems seeing the mouse also. Sooo,
I blamed the problem on the motherboard (QDI shit, it was all I could
afford) and hacked fvwm to so I could do most of my tasks with key
bindings. Today I called the store I bought the motehrboard from and
asked if they'd tested the UARTs before I picked the board up. They said
they had (I trust them, I do most of my shopping there) so I'm going to
play with it some more and see if I can get anything working. The mouse
does work, and I've tried it with a different mouse, too (a 3-button
Magic Point or something). (If you can't tell by now, the entries posted
didn't work :). Thanks though.)
I'm open to more advice if anyone has any.
Thanks, sorry for the long post. :)

Here's what I have for my two-button Kingston in my XF86Config:
(You can assume that everything is correct in my kernel and is seen at
boot-time.)
