Subject: Microsoft bus mouse problems in X - SLS 1.01 (0.99p9)
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1993 18:04:58 GMT

I am experiencing problems getting X up on my 486/50.
Using SLS 1.01 (Linux 0.99p9), 8 meg RAM, 212 meg HD, Trident 1 meg video
card, Microsoft bus mouse. The mouse works fine in DOS.

/dev/mouse points to the correct bus mouse driver and Xconfig is set up for
the bus mouse, but X pukes and says that it can't open the mouse.

Is there a problem using Microsoft bus mouse ? Should I switch to a COMx
mouse ? Thanks for any help.
