Hi gang,  I have X386 up and running! I don't have video problems THANKS
to many posts, the FAQ for X, xclk, etc.  However, I'm having mouse problems.
In the Xconfig file theres a line:
(from my human memory)
Logitech  /dev/tty00

I have a couple of questions.  I didn't have a tty00.  So I generated one
with mknod tty00 c 8 1 (just like com1 where my mouse was attached).  IS
this correct?  Also, what are other valid names to replace "Logitech"?
And how would I know?  Am I missing docs somewhere?  I checked FAQ-X.  Did
I miss something?

I start X using xinit.  Lastly, I keep seeing Xfree86 with references to
agate.berkeley.edu in pub/incoming/X386.  Is that the correct place?  I download
last week and I got core.bin.1.02 files.  Yet, I see references to higher
versions.  Has there been an update within the last week?
