Ok -- here's what I've done to date:

1) Yanked harddrive and put in the old MS Winders one.  (UGH!)
2) Mouse didn't work 
3) Swapped many mice
4) Re-read a few hardware books and realized some of my mice may not like
being on serial port via PS/2 connector.  Found a generic cheapie with a
switch and put it on PC and finally Windows saw mouse
5) After swapping drive a few times (forgot to look at where the mouse was
COM wise), reboot on Linux drive
6) Linux still doesn't see or respond properly to the mouse.

The mouse is on COM3 -- /dev/ttyS2 in Linux on IRQ4 with O3E8-O3EF.  What's
up with this????   StartX is not allowing mouse to work???   It was
complaining it didn't know what the mouse protocol was, but once I ran the
config program, that fixed that.   It's referencing the mouse as /dev/mouse
. . . link looks like it should work.  

Any suggestions?????
