trying to get Compaq QVISION card and mouse working

Post by Carl Tichl » Thu, 22 Jun 1995 04:00:00



Like some others who have posted recently, I am having difficulty
configuring Xfree 3.1.1 to use my Compaq QVision card (AVGA) and
mouse.  I am running version 1.2.8 of the kernel.  Any pointers
would be appreciated!

1. Solved: trying to get Compaq QVISION card and mouse working (was NEC 4FGe problem)

I was able to get this setup working quite well.  The mouse is
a PS/2 mouse.  I set /dev/mouse to be a symbolic link to /dev/bmouseps2.
The other relevant parts of the XF86Config file follow.
Note the commented out lines in the monitor
section -- these were taken from one of the example XF86config
files -- they were supposed to work for an NEC4FGe, but they
did NOT.  I used the ModeLine's for the NEC4FG, and these worked
fine.
