   I have Logitech bus mouse ( with a bus card) on PCI90.
   I have recompiled FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 kernel with a mse0 device as per freebsd.faq
   but used IRQ 5 (faq says IRQ 6). 
   The system appears to recognize it upon booting.
   I modifed XF86Config file and uncommented Logitech mice
   When X starts, i get root and xterm with a mouse carret, so i can use
   that xterm window. But I can't move the pointer except down and to the left.
   If i exit X, i see:
   Warning: unable to get status of mouse fd (Operation not supported by device)

   Any ideas?

# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "BusMouse"
    Device      "/dev/lms0"
EndSection

Works for me.
