Having a bit of trouble getting my ati busmouse configured for use with
XFree 1.3. I am using a VGA Wonder +. The ati.test.c program shows the
following information:
ATI BIOS Information Block:
Signature code: 31 = VGA WONDER
Chip version: 4 = ATI 28800-4
BIOS version: 1.2

This video adapter is a: VGA WONDER PLUS (V6)
Amount of RAM on video adapter: 512k
The extended registers (ATIExtREG) are at 0x1ce
The x386 ATI driver will set ATIBoard = 3
I am trying to get the busmouse working. I have compiled the pl10
kernel with the ATIXL Busmouse driver, but can't get it to initialize.
I've scanned the ATIXL driver code, and it appears to use the IRQ 7.
My mouse is only configureable on IRQs 2, 3, 4, and 5. The plip parallel
driver is using IRQ 5, which the mouse is now configured to use.
Is there a way to get the ATIXL driver to work with this card? Has anyone
else been successful with this setup? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shawn
