I've had the exact same problem, and looked at the code briefly, but
decided that it was a bit beyond my talents, since I didn't have the
slightest clue as to what is going on with the mouse handling. I'd
really like to use my mouse as long as I can't run X, so if anyone has
any ideas, fire away....
(One thing I've found out in reading my mouse manual pretty thoroughly
- the Logitech mouse runs at 9600 baud, and I seem to recall the
selection-1.0 code expecting the mouse to run at 1200.)
