I see /dev/ttyd0 and ttyd1 but the mouse, when attached to com0 seems to generate nothing. I need a mouse to start the server, linking /dev/mouse to /dev/ttyd[01] gets it started but I can't move the cursor. the docs with XFree86 say do : sh MAKEDEV tty00 that doesn't seem to make tty00 -- Jake Dias jake@ibmpcug.co.uk ...!ibmpcug!jake My PGP Key? - finger jake@ibmpcug.co.uk or email with Subject: get pgp key
