Message-ID: <CE5AyH.Cs7@eskimo.com> Organization: /usr/lib/news/organi[sz]ation Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1993 02:37:36 GMT Lines: 51 D'oh! Just picked up a Bus Mouse Yesterday in the hopes that it would free a serial port for other things, and am having a few problems getting XFree86 to recognize it. Running NetBSD 0.9, I recompiled the kernel with the following line added in: device mms0 at isa? port "IO_BMS1" tty irq 5 vector mmsintr The recompile went fine, and during reboot, I received the following message, which I took to be a good sign: mms0 at 0x23c-0x23f irq 5 on isa The card is configured exactly as that---The primary port at port 0x23c, and on IRQ 5. There was no mms0 entry in /dev/, so I created one, using % cd /dev % mknod mms0 c 35 0 where 35 is a number I obtained from file /sys/arch/i386/i386/conf.c. Now, I added the line: Microsoft "/dev/mms0" To my Xconfig file. However, XFree always complains that it can't get the status of mouse fd (invalid argument). Is the NetBSD mms driver compatible with XFree? What can I do to get it working? Merci.
