I'm getting kicked out of X with the following message:
Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)
 
...am I supposed to have a 'mouse' file in /dev/mouse? because I don't...
I reinstall BasicLinux, installed to hd and configured LILO to boot from hd.

I've posted the "pointer" section the X86Config file I found for my laptop.
 
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "mouse"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"
#    Protocol "Xqueue"
#    BaudRate 9600
#    SampleRate 150
#    Emulate3Buttons
#    Emulate3Timeout    50
#    ChordMiddle
EndSection
