My Trackman finally works!
The steps:
1. Install the X distribution (a wonderfully easy install, haven't
had a chance to use yet though)
2. cd /dev; ln /dev/ttys0 /dev/mouse
3. goto the /usr/X11/tst/mouse directory
4. ./mouse Microsoft /dev/mouse
go figure -- It's microsoft compatible, choosing Logitech gives
garbage
5. After this step the test-mouse program included with selection
lets me draw pretty patterns (compile with P_MS)
Thanks to the previous poster who suggested this sequence!
ObLinuxRave: I completely reinstalled Linux in just under an hour using the
combined MCC/X11 release at sc.tamu.edu; I'm currently logged in thru kermit
and tested the above sequence in another virtual console. I'm flabbergasted!
Thanks to Linus and all you folks contributing -- words fail me.
