It seems as though the fervent talk about MGR has given way for X, but
in my quest for a graphical environment (and my possession of both a
Stealth and Trident card), I would like to get MGR running on my system.
The version that I was able to get ahold of (off sunsite.unc.edu)
appears to support my Trident 8900c card just fine, but I find no direct
support for a bus mouse. My Logitech Bus Mouse (using /dev/modem) and
the included Microsoft Mouse driver (I was into experimentation at the
time) almost talked to each other. I was able to get the opening
screen, the mouse pointer, and was able to move the arrow along the top
row of the screen (with a little effort, mind you).
I don't find it surprising that there is an imcompatibility here, but
I'd like to know if someone has had success with such a setup. I'm
running 0.97pl2, so it's got the built-in bus mouse support.
Thanks!
