Where's the mouse (in X-windows)?

["Hersh, Harry" <Harry.Hersh@fmr.com>]

In trying to start up the X server, I get the following error output:

	--------------------------------------
XF86Config: /etc/X11/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) XKB: keymap: "xfree86(us)" (overrides other XKB settings)
(**) Mouse: type: Microsoft, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200
(**) Mouse: buttons: 3
...

Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)

	------------------------------------

I did previously go to /dev and run MAKEDEV mouse.

Even though this must be something very basic and obvious, can someone
please shed some light on what to do?

Thanks,
