	After installing the X11 patches, and the socket emulation
on our system, I tried to install a mouse with very little success.
It is a 3 button logitec bus mouse.  After installing it using mkdev
mouse, (which works fine, and the mouse shows up on the hardware
list upon xenix bootup) I tried the usemouse program.  As a user
it responds: Can't open slave device (Errno 13).  If I try it as
root it gives no error message just prints Xenix386!login on the
console and returns to the shell prompt.  Either way the mouse
does not work.  X windows will startup, but with no mouse all I
can do is admire its beauty :)  

 	There does not seem to be any conflicts with cards, as I 
tried stripping everything from the machine, except the essentials
and it still would work.  I also tried installing a 2 button serial
mouse with no luck.  Any ideas?

System configuration (if relevant)

Xenix 2.3.2 (w/2.3.1 of dev. sys)
20MHz 386 w/ 4Mb memory
2 150Mb hard drives
Wyse intelligent multiport serial card
Archive 120Mb tape backup
Standard VGA (ATI) screen.

Thanxs
Jim
