This may be off topic, but someone might be able to help. I've got FreeBSD 3.1 on a Shuttle HOT-539 motherboard (UMC chipset). The kernel identifies the serial ports at 16550A's. But I cannot get my mouse to talk to the port at all. The mouse works fine on my 3.1 laptop. I've got six of these motherboards, and I've tried several, so this isn't an isolated problem. So I thought it might be the cable from the motherboard to the DB9 or 25 plug. But I've tried nearly everyone I can find, to no avail. Are there multiple types of these cables? I know there are Asus and Intel ones, but are there others? The pin configurations I've tried: (Asus?) DB25 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 22 FC10 3 2 7 8 5 5 1 4 9 (Intel?) DB25 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 22 FC10 5 3 4 6 2 9 1 7 8 Could this also be a chipset problem? Maybe FreeBSD is not identifying the port correctly? Is there a way to test this? I've also contacted Shuttle, but gotten no response. And no, I don't have a manual for the board. --- Patrick S.
