Please point me in the right direction of there is am FAQ on this but I
have looked everywhere.
I have a Logitech Trackball Bus Mouse. This mouse emulates a Microsoft
mouse and is compatible with Mouse.Com for MSDOS.
Linux (SLS 1.03) detects the card (set on irq 2) and tells me so on startup.
I have /dev/mouse symbolicly linked to /dev/busmouselogitech.
When I run Xwindows the mouse is detected but I can't move it.
in Xconfig, I have busmouse "/dev/mouse".
The funny thing is that I had VGA card installed previously that had a bus
mouse port on board. This port worked fine. Unfortunately this VGA card
was not SVGA and not to fun for X.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to know if there is a way to
test the mouse outside of X at least.
When i type cat /dev/mouse I am told to try again. I can't cat the mouse
movements.
Also, I would like to know how to install a serial mouse. When SLS was
installed it asked me if I had a mouse and if I had a modem. It said I
could change these things lateer with syssetup. When I ran syssetup the
program ran, and dropped back to the prompt in 2-3 seconds and did nothing.
Is there a way to get this to run?
Thanks
