DOSEMU mouse problem

Post by roo » Thu, 05 Oct 1995 04:00:00



I'm using DOSEMU 0.60.3 on Slackware 1.2.8, and when I run DOS, the mouse
works fine, until I switch to another term and back. Then it just dies.
The MOUSE driver is still in memory, but no program sees it anymore.
I have tried the microsoft 8.00 and 9.01 driver, with the same results.
Anybody have a hint about what's wrong here?

Thanks in advance, Paul.

I noticed the same effect and don't know what's the reason for it.
But when you switch back into dosemu from an xterm the mouse works again.
So from dosemu go to any vt, then xterm and from there straight back to dosemu.

1. Dosemu Mouse Problem

I have been setting up dosemu on my system and am having a problem
getting the mouse to act properly.  The center button seems to dump
whatever is in the cut&paste buffer into DOS's keyboard input.  This
creates a byte-explosion because the DOS program isn't expecting all
these characters (and either was I).  I have programs that use the
center button so whatever is happening disables them.  I have gone thru
every bit of documentation I can find and search the user net for an
answer but so far no luck.  I have tried to disable dosemu's internal
mouse driver but nothing I do changes anything (did this by setting the
mouse items in dosemu.conf to "").  Tried several DOS (microsoft and
logitech) mouse drivers but they always report that another driver
already exists in memory and bail.  Other than the center button out
of control the mouse generally works OK in dosemu.  This problem occures
both in 'X' and the console.  The one difference is that when I tried to
disable the mouse it did in console mode but I still couldn't load any
DOS mouse drivers.  I am running the following versions:

        Red Hat 5.2
        Kernel  2.0.36
        dosemu  0.98.5-1
        KDE     1.1-3
        MS-DOS  6.20

Thanks in advance for any help you may send my way.
