- I had a similar problem: There seemed to be no way I could make my X-Server
- work, I tried every possible combination of clock and mode settings, to no
- avail.
-
- What finally worked for me was setting the mouse driver to /dev/ttys1.
- The equivalence between LINUX device names and those of DOS is the following:
-
- DOS COM1: == /dev/ttys0
- DOS COM2: == /dev/ttys1
-
- I would therefore suggest you try the setting
-
- Logitech "/dev/ttys1"
-
- or is your mouse actually connected to COM3?
-
- I hope this helps.
