I've got a MicroSoft Bus mouse and can't the thing to work with XFree.
I've installed the busmouse patches from agate, and testmse comes up
just fine (reports all movement and buttone pressing on my mouse).

Right now, the mouse is set up on IRQ5, and I've set up the special file
for the non-blocking version (c 14 1).  When I bring up XFree, I get a
mouse pointer, but I can't move it.  I've anyone's gotten this animal to
work, email me.
