From: alan@qsss01.gs.com (Alan Buckwalter - x5586) Subject: Linux/PC IRQ's Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1993 02:16:43 GMT
I recently installed Linux .99p6 on an 386/25. The system
has two serial ports, a 3C503 card and a MS Busmouse. All
these devices work ok under DOS, but the Mouse and 3C503
card conflict under Linux. When booting, I am told that
tty00 used IRQ 4
tty01 used IRQ 3
3C503 used IRQ 5
My mouse was also configured to use IRQ-5, which stopped the
ethernet card from working. Once the mouse was changed, the
ethernet card worked, but I am unable to use IRQ-2 (the only
remaining IRQ level by the mouse board) and have the mouse work
under X.
Any thoughts ? Please reply via e-mail.
