I have quite a specific problem, which I hope somebody can address. I
just downloaded and installed PhatLinux which runs similar to RedHat's
Kernel. It uses the xf86config instead of the xf86setup when
configuring x-windows. The problem I have is getting my mouse to work.
A while back, my motherboard decided to crap out on com port one, so I
decided to disable the com port in the bios and install an I/o card to
connect my mouse to it (this was under windows 95 by the way). Now,
when installing linux and configuring windows,  I really have no idea
how I should set it up. the dev/mouse option doesn't work.
  When I look at my windows system information, it says the mouse is
connected to  port ps/2 with IRQ 12.  Does anyone have any suggestions
on how to enter this correctly in my xf86config???

Thanks in advance.....
