I've been trying to get X up for a while and the video section (apparently
one of the hardest) seems to be working fine, although it doesn't fill up
the whole screen as it should (but that's a separate problem). I have an
NEC MultiSync 2A with Cirrus 5430 video card running at 2 Mb.
The main problem however is the mouse and it just doesn't seem to be
working right. I'm not sure what model it is because it's kind of old but
it's a Logitech 3 button serial mouse. The shape is squarelike and it's at
least 5 or so years old. The back inscription says Model No. C7 (and in
printed letters (3F-9F) next to it) if that means anything to anybody.
Well, I tried loading it gpm with mouseman and microsoft with com 1 as my
default. I've tried the others but they either don't work even more or it
locks up my system. The irq and i/o are the correct specifications, since
that's what it is for my dos environment, but when I try it in linux, it
just moves erratically and clicks and highlights things without me actually
clicking it. I noticed this problem in X and is seems to stem from the
normal linux mode as well. I'm at a lost and any help that anybody can
provide would be greatly appreciated Thanks for taking the time.
