Very Computer

I've finally gotten my ParadisePlus board to display properly, but
I still haven't figured out what I need to do to tell X386 about my
mouse... Can someone help me?

I've tried to email this person, but it bounced every time.

Rick, the following may help you.  It's probably findable as a previous
post in this newsgroup.

---------------the following article that posted may help ----------------

THE 0.96c-patchlevel2 KERNEL SUPPORTS LOGITECH AND COMPATABLE BUS MICE
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(you can find a patched kernel as /pub/Linux/Incoming/linux-0.96c-pl2.tar.Z
 on banjo.concert.net)

If you are unsure that you have a bus mouse or not, check to see if your
mouse card has a selection for a sample rate switchable between 30Hz
and 60Hz (or possibly 25/50Hz), if it does not, then it is NOT a true
bus mouse (InPort mice for example will not work with this driver).

To create a bus mouse device:
mknod /dev/mouse c 10 0

What do I use in my Xconfig file to use the bus mouse?  Logitech doesn't
work.

Here are the mouse lines from my Xconfig:

BusMouse   "/dev/mouse"

You may add a sample rate if you want, but chances are, unless the model
number on your mouse matches mine: PC-93-9MD it probably will cause your
machine to lock up, as I've gotten several reports saying that.

According to the X386 documentation, non-logitech mice do not support
a sample rate.

How do I make mgr use my bus mouse?

Well you don't have to.  Once you've created /dev/mouse you're set.

Now you've got something that resembles a piece of a faq... maybe
it will make its way into the real faq...
