Thanks! After standing on my head a few times and sacrificing the live
chicken . . . it finally works. I even have AUDIO!! It turns out the
mouse I was using was being autodetected in Windows. It worked there, I
swapped it to COM2 and tried it again. It still worked in Windows but not
in Linux. I had a regular mouse (A4-Tech cheapie) and plugged it in and
Windows still worked. Then I tried "gpm -t ms" and it started working.
After playing with X11R4 Config file I got it to see the mouse. Whew!
Not bad for Peanut Linux -- 425Mb of size. Very cool on a P120Mhz box . .
. next up, installing something to play my MP3's.
