If you buy ISC's X-windows, you get a driver /dev/logi for the Logitech bus
mouse.  I'm using it with vpix on 2.0.1 and have had no problems.  Just
replace /dev/mouse references in vpix.cnf with /dev/logi.  Even the /dev/mouse
ioctls
seem to work!

I was told by ISC that they only provide the driver when you buy X-windows.
But that was a while ago.
