On a blue&white G3 300 Mhz, after upgrading to XFREE 4.01, I used
Xautoconfig4 to generate XF86Config-4 file, but the call startx still
failing with the following message:

xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse
   No such file or directory.
or :
xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
   No such file or directory.

I used many examples on the internet of XF86Config-4 files for
Rage128 without any success.
Dos anyone know why it thinks I have a serial mouse.

Any help is welcome.
