The first problem is that my Logimouse (i think it's the oldest serial model that exists, probably 6 or 7 years old) either - doesn't move the pointer at all - moves the cursor quite hectically, but not in the direction that i move the mouse - works as expected (about every 7th time). i've been going online to the port (com0) with kermit, the mouse returns characters when moved. Here is my Xconfig entry: Logitech "/dev/com0" Baudrate 1200 SampleRate 20 i've also experimented setting the baudrate to 2400 and the samplerate up and down in increments of 5, however, to no avail. note that the mouse *does* work about every 7th time that i start X. oh, by the way, this is how com0 looks like: it's a symbolic link to tty00 which has major 8, minor 0. another problem i've been having with xv (the graphic viewer): when i invoke xv, it doesn't do anything but consume time. strangely, when i started it in the foreground and hit ^Z to suspend it after some time, the machine hangs, meaning that i can still ping it, but all telnet connections go dead, and when i telnet to it, i get a connection, but no prompt. some vm-bug? but even despite the "hang", i suspect problems with the floating point emulator and gcc-2.3.3 (just a quick guess). anybody tried running xv on a 386 without a math copro? any help is greatly appreciated. - felix
