I have a 486/33 Eisa machine with an Optima Mega ET4000 based graphics card. I have 8 Mb RAM and the poorly 5 MB Swap on disk. I use a serial card with 16450 chips on it. I have a Logitech S9 mouse connected to com1. In the Xconfig file I configured the mouse as follows logitech /dev/com00 BaudRate 2400 SampleRate 150 When starting X with xinit, then the server starts up properly three windows came up, twm comes up as window manager, but I can't see any pointer on the screen ? What has hapened with my pointer device ? In the meantime I tried another graphic card. A ET4000 based local bus card since I have a VESA Local Bus slot on my eisa board. Same as above. X11 starts properly. The desktop background, the windows, twm .. everything works great. But I have no pointer device .... Are there any known problems with the patched serial driver that comes with the patchkit 0.2.3 ??? Or do I use the wrong ports ? (I can't believe ) ! Another question: Now I have a third graphic card for test only. An ELSA WINNER 1000 which I use in eisa mode in an eisa slot. This card has 2 Mb Ram installed. Perhaps I want to buy such a card to upgrade my video card to something faster than the ET4000 based cards. The WINNER 1000 has the 86C928 chip on board and has included a standard vga interface so that you don't need to insert a 2nd card as vga only card. Is there a X11R5 (XFree86) version that supports this card ? I like this card very much, because in DOS/WINDOWS you can setup / fine tune the card to any combination of resolution and V. scanning frequency. With an EIZO FLEXSCAN 9070S I can run 800x600x256 and 80 Hz non interlaced ! Please reply via E-Mail.
