1. BUSMICE - can't find ATI busmouse
I'm having trouble getting the selection and XFree86 programs to recognize
my bus mouse. I have read the relevant documents, including Matt Welsh's
"Linux Installation and Getting Started", the various man pages, and the
Busmouse HOWTO, but I still don't know how to solve this. Here are the
details of my system:
Linux kernel 1.2.3
ATI VGAWonder+ video card with 8514/Ultra accelerator and mouse bus
Logitech 2-button bus mouse, model number M-PG14-
NEC MultiSync 4D monitor
The VSETUP program that comes with the video card reports that the mouse bus
is set for IRQ 5 and Primary address. I am quite certain that nothing else is
using IRQ 5. The "Device" field in the pointing-device section my XF86Config
is set to "/dev/mouse". I have tried several different entries for the
Protocol field, I have tried symlinking /dev/mouse to /dev/inportbm and
/dev/atibm, and I have tried the 8514, Mach8 and SVGA servers. All of them
report various (**) and (--) status lines and then fail with the following two
lines:
Cannot open mouse (No such device)
xinit No such file or directory (errno 2): unexpected signal 13
Hoping to find success with a simpler program, I tried running "selection"
with various bus-mouse options. All of them failed with a "no such device"
message.
I'm stymied. I *think* I'm following all of the instructions correctly, but
still these programs refuse to see my mouse. Does anyone have any idea what I
might be doing wrong?
