Message-ID: <BRAD.93Mar2210713@stemwinder.FCR.COM> Date: 3 Mar 93 02:07:13 GMT Organization: FCR Software Inc., Boston, MA Lines: 26 NNTP-Posting-Host: stemwinder.fcr.com I really like XFree86 v1.2, especially since it can now work on my 486 portable. I have it working with a microsoft mouse on /dev/com1 but I can't get it to use my "built in" mouse. I'm running the "pccons" kernel which I found in the xfree86 directory on agate. I tried ps/2 "/dev/com2" BaudRate 1200 Actually, I tried all baudrates from 1200-9600 with ps/2 and microsoft and no dice. This internal mouse works fine under windows, and is labeled as "microsoft, or IBM PS/2". The manual claims it is connected to com2. Any ideas? I even tried the hack of setting "cs7" in the .xinitrc. -brad ps: XFree is really fantastic.
