Here's an irony for you - I've got my Logitech USB mouse running under Debian, but *NOT* under Windows 98, even though I installed Win98 with it plugged in! So I have an older serial mouse for use in Windows :) Anyway, getting back to the problem: You'll need some modules loaded I think to get this to work: usbcore usb-uhci hid mousedev usbmouse In XF86Config-4, the device ought to be set to something like /dev/input/mice, but I think this can vary and I recall having to create it.
