Hello!
Hopefully you have seen my first post about my problems using X with
a microsoft mouse. In my first article, I said that if I ran a program
that did an ioperm on the four ports used by the mouse, then after that
I could get my mouse to work in X. Well that is half true. If I run
a program that does an ioperm on all the ports and I interrupt it
(with a ctrl-C) then I get the described behavior. If I allow the program
to exit normally, then the mouse does not work at all.
In my first article I also said that the mouse would work until the xterm
came up. That is not so. I can move the mouse around until ???
Until something happens. If I remove the xterm and xclock from my
xinitrc, the mouse still stops working at some unspecified time.
If I just run xinit with no window manager the behavior is exactly
the same.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
