2.2.1, 486, and ATI mouse

2.2.1, 486, and ATI mouse

Post by Derek A Co » Wed, 28 May 1997 04:00:00



Can anybody help me?

I have 2.2.1 installed on my 486 33, but the mouse an ATI mouse connected to a
ATI VGA Wonder XL video card.  The mouse is set to irq 5 0x23c. I have a SB16
also on irq5, but support for it is not install in the kernal, yet.  I am going
to try removing the SB for now.

The problem is the mouse will not work in XFree86.  Xwindows comes ups, I can
change video modes with Ctrl-Alt-+ but the mouse does not work.

HELP, support for mse0 is in the kernal, the config of the kernal is set to
irq5 port 0x23c, and no mouse.  I can't even get the mouse to work in the
/stand/sysinstall XFree86 config program.

Any and all help is apperciated!

The ATI card usually comes with a utility program to set up the card.
You can enable/disable the mouse interface and set the port and IRQ
number of the bus mouse port on the card with the utility program. I
think you can set the port number to 23c or 238, and choose an IRQ
number from 2, 3, 5 and 10. My ATI Graphics Ultra+ (ISA) offers that
many.

1. ATI rageII PCI on 486

Is anyone else using the ATI 3d Expression on a 486 Mother Board with
PCI slots.  I've been trying to make this card work for some time
now with little luck.  I got the new Xfree86 3.2a (beta) release and
it sort of worked but I'm getting fuzzy bars in my display where thin
verticle strips are getting shifted to the left on the screen.  People
have told me that they got the same card to work for them but I can't
understand what I'm doing differently.  One thing I'm thinking that
it might be is that I'm running the card in a 486.  Or maybe I have
a beta version but not the latest beta version.  If you have got the
ATI 3d Expression + PC2TV working could you send me a path where I can
get the distribution that your using.  Thanks in advance.
