X and mouse problems...again

[Michael Mueller <mjm-58@mindspring.com>]

I know this has been covered.  I found the following links and some more in 
the archives.  I've followed some of the tips that I could understand.  I'm 
still stuck.

The symptom is that when I "startx" in my user account I get the welcome 
screen, then the gray screen.  When I move the mouse, it jumps sporadically 
and menus pop up and down rapidly.  I have to telnet in and kill processes to 
get X to stop.

I know nothing about X configuration.  I've looked at my /etc/X11/FX86Config. 
Under Section "Pointer" I have:
Protocol "ps/2"
Device "dev/sunmouse" (I changed it from "dev/mouse")

/dev/sunmouse is not a sym. link.

Archives of a similar problem:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2001/debian-sparc-200109/msg00082.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2001/debian-sparc-200104/msg00012.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2001/debian-sparc-200101/msg00005.html

I've done "/etc/init.d/gpm stop"

I've tried to follow the advice in the archive, but I must be missing 
something.  

I've got the sun keyboard with 3 button mouse that connects to the kbd.  I've 
got an Ultra5.

TIA,
Mike
