Sure. I have M$ 2-button inport busmouse on irq 5 (it was in irq
2 when I installed X, but I had to change it to irq 5).
First, you need to compile a new kernel which supports inport
mice, if you don't have one, and reboot with that kernel.
Second, create a device for your mouse. I have it named as
inportbm (as Linux devicelist suggests) and /dev/mouse is a
symlink to it.
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 2 Jul 2 22:28 /dev/inportbm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 20 05:34 /dev/mouse -> inportbm
Last, edit your /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig file, especially mouse
settings. Here are appropriate lines from my Xconfig:
# Mouse definition and related parameters
#
Busmouse "/dev/inportbm"
SampleRate 200
Emulate3Buttons
Now you should be ok and you can try out your X windows.
