Trouble with mouse

Hi...

I'm having problems getting a mouse to work under SCO XENIX 2.3.2

I have a Logitech Bus Mouse, and installed it in my machine (DFI 386SX)
according to the manual that came with it.  I set the only jumper on the 
bus mouse board to interrupt 5, as suggested in the manual.

I then ran 'mkdev mouse', and specified that I was using a Logitech Bus
mouse.  The device '/dev/mouse/bus0' was created.  Following mkdev's
instructions, I relinked the kernel, and re-booted the system so the
new kernel would take effect.

When I type 'usemouse' I am getting the following message:

d_open: unable to open device ``/dev/mouse/bus0'' for read only
ev_open: error attaching device
usemouse: cannot open even queue(6)

In /dev/mouse, there are two devices: bus0 and vpix0
They have read/write permissions for everybody.  

I'd like to be able to use the mouse with a couple of applications under
VP/ix.  I tried loading the mouse driver in the VP/ix environment, but this
did not help matters.

I'd appreciate any help I can get regarding this problem.  Please e-mail
all responses.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
