What type of bus mouse do you have? I beleive that is is confirmed that
the driver only works with a Logitech Bus mouse (it works with my MouseMan,
And a couple others' C7 Bus mouse, so it will probably work with a C9
also). It won't work with MS Bus mice, and won't work with PS/2 mice either
(though I'd be happy to try if anyone can give me the pertinent info).

Failing this... I don't know what to tell you.
