Can anybody help me?

I have 2.2.1 installed on my 486 33, but the mouse an ATI mouse connected to a
ATI VGA Wonder XL video card.  The mouse is set to irq 5 0x23c. I have a SB16
also on irq5, but support for it is not install in the kernal, yet.  I am going
to try removing the SB for now.

The problem is the mouse will not work in XFree86.  Xwindows comes ups, I can
change video modes with Ctrl-Alt-+ but the mouse does not work. 

HELP, support for mse0 is in the kernal, the config of the kernal is set to
irq5 port 0x23c, and no mouse.  I can't even get the mouse to work in the 
/stand/sysinstall XFree86 config program.

Any and all help is apperciated!
Derek
