by Well I have tried all I can think of now it is time to come to the wizards
of comp.os.linux.x
I have a Mouse Systems 3 button mouse with the switch on the base to select
between 2 or 3 buttons. It runs off of com1 and works fine in dos. I
installed the march 95 slackware linux and everything works except for my
mouse in x. I tried gpm and it works fine on the console. When I start x
though the X cursor sits locked in the middle of the screen. In setup i
have chosen mouse systems on com port 1. In xf86config I did the same. I
have tried enabling and disabling ClearDTR and RTS without any luck. I
read something about making sure there isn't a getty on the console...I
don't understand this and was wondering if someone could explain or if
anyone has any other clues as what to try. I am using /dev/mouse and have
tried linking it to ttyS0, ttyS1 but no luck...x bombs when i try setting
it to cua0 or cua1. One other question...after I make a change via the
setup script do I need to reboot for the changes to take effect?
Thanks,
Chuck
