To configure the mouse with X windows, you need to determine the manner in
which the mouse is connected to the computer. See also pages 53 and 59 of
the study guide:
i) USB mouse, use the /dev/input/mice
ii) The PS/2 mouse has a small round 6- pin DIN connector. Use /dev/psaux
iii) A serial mouse has a 9 or 25 pin connector and can be connected on com
port 1. Use /dev/ttyS0
iv) A serial mouse has either a 9 or 25 pin connector and can be connected
on com port 2. Use /dev/ttyS1

Hint: If the rest of your X configuration is working, you can modify the
setup via xreset's 'Complex - text mode' scripts from the console. See from
page 65 onwards in the study guide.
