I have (after several reinstallations) gotten SLS installation up and running
on my machine correctly. Each re-install it gets just a little bit better :>
Anyway, after getting the timing charts for my (temporary) monitor, I have
gotten X up and running (well, displaying on my screen nicely, at least).
What I don't have is mouse support.
I have a Logitech Bus Mouse (IRQ3) installed. I've recompiled the kernel
for Logitech Bus mouse support, it is supposedly recognized and installed
upon boot up. I've set my Xconfig file to use Busmouse "/dev/bmouselogitec"
however I get no busmouse action. Nothing. I require a CTRL-ALT-BS to
return to the prompt.
I've read several posts dealing with the ATI Bus mouse and it's interrupt
problems, and I've scanned through interrupt.h, irq.[ch], mouse.c, busmouse.c
and a few other files... and didn't see where I should be forcing any
interrupt such as is required with the ATI.
I've tried compiling the mouse test program in /usr/X386/tst/mouse, but I
receive a `SIGINT not defined' error in main on line 344... When I run the
executable that came with the SLS distribution it complains that some
particular library is missing.
Every so often on boot up I do receive a "Wild Interrupt (IRQ 3)" message
before the serial port is configured.
My mouse works in OS/2 fine (and DOS/Windows before that). I've disabled
all other serial ports that would conflict. My soundboard is at IRQ5...
tape unit is at IRQ2 (IRQ9), etc..
Any pointers would be appreciated. Answers would be even better.
I am sofar impressed with the work that has been accomplished with Linux and
specifically the SLS distribution. I hope to gather enough knowlege to make
my own contribution someday... :>
