Hmm, glad to hear someone else has used a Logitech...
The thing that is weird is that even with the Microsoft mouse which
works fine, specifying 'Protocol "Logitech"' causes X to hang with
the 'inappropriate IOCTL' problem.  To me this implies something
with the actual tty device.

So, does anyone else have an AST 4port they can hook a mouse to?
Just change the protocol section to "Logitech" and let me know if
it works.

Good advice! :)
