I did some experimenting and I can't quite remember particular symptoms with different configurations, but problems included: - X server not starting at all (no core pointer) - X server starting but mouse pointer not moving - X server starting but mouse pointer jumping all over the screen `cat /dev/psm0' usually resulted in `Device busy' (that was the reason why X couldn't see the mouse). The mouse was installed on irq12, detected during boot, no flags passed to the driver. I'm using a KVM switch, but I tried to use the mouse with and without it. Currently I have the mouse hooked up via the PS/2---serial adapter, but I feel that's not the Right Way. Any help will be appreciated. -- ,oOo.Bc -=EE Krzysztof Parzyszek 11/29/2000 3:41pm -'7' `L' ---Entropy isn't what it used to be...
