Hi, I need some to help on this. I have a Dimond Speedster+ video card, and
after many helps from the net, I finally get it work with X window(Xfree1.1
that comes with SLS 98p5) by booting from DOS. Recently, I upgrade to the new
SLS package with Xfree1.2. Since then, I was not able to get the X window
working. I have a microsoft serial mouse which uses com2. So I first set it
to /dev/ttys1 in Xconfig. However, I can not get anything except blank screen
when I start the X window. I first thought it might be because that I did not
set the clock right. However, I found that when I change the setting for mouse
to /dev/ttys2 or other serial ports, the X window startup perfectly(of course
the mouse is not functional anymore). So I believe that there is something
wrong with the mouse setting. Has anybody have similiar experience? Could
someone tell me how to fix the problem? Thanks a lot.
