Linux Gurus:
I have TurboLinux version 4.0 (this uses the linux 2.2.12 kernel)
running on an AMD K6 with 64 meg memory and a serial mouse. This
was all working fine until just recently. Althought I do not know
what caused the problem, it could have been when I plugged a modem
into the other serial port with hopes of using the FAX utility.
When it became obvious that it would take more work than setting
up the MS fax, I opted for the latter. Since then I have removed
the serial modem.
Now the mouse just does not work in linux mode (this is a dual
boot system), but works fine in Windows mode. My guess is that
there is some software file that Linux modified causing this
problem, but I can't seem to locate it. The setting in the
XF86Config (in /etc/X11) is unchanged from previously:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/ttyS0"
Buttons 3
EndSection
The setting in /etc/sysconfig/mouse is unchanged:
MOUSENAME="Mouse Systems (3-button)"
MOUSETYPE=MouseSystems
MOUSEDEV=/dev/ttyS0
MOUSEBAUD=1200
MOUSEBUTTONS=3
XEMU3=no
XCHORD=no
CLEARDTR=no
CLEARRTS=no
WHEELMOUSE=no
Does anyone know what I need to do to get the mouse working again?
Thanks for your expert help.
