Kind people, This is my first question to the list, and it is the first time I have tried to install linux since the kernel was version 1.2.
I have installed potato on an old laptop using http. The laptop is an AST Ascentia 950n, and claims to have a P120, 16MB of RAM, and I have upgraded the hard drive to a 5.7GB unit. I have net thanks to a PCMCIA network card. I think when I installed, I may have had the built-in mouse disabled. When I try to start X now, I get an error that it can't open /dev/mouse, and, indeed, there does not seem to be any /dev/mouse. X has never successfully run on this system. Microsoft Mouse Driver version 8.20 works on a DOS boot floppy I have handy, and the mouse is usable. How can I get a /dev/mouse? Thanks for any help. Chris Owens
