My sales rep. claims that it's a serial mouse, but tip'ping to tty[01] brings me no joy at all. I tried configuring mse0 into my kernel, and the boot probe said it didn't see it where it expected it. The documentation that came with the system gives me no hints, except for a few diagrams in which the mouse connector is labeled, ``PS/2 mouse.'' Is this, in fact, a PS/2 mouse? How can I tell? MAKEDEV knows how to make a psm0 for me, and conf/files.i386 has the line: i386/isa/psm.c optional psm device-driver but there is no psm.c to be found. Has anyone else had any luck with this mouse? --jim -- Jim Mattson <mattson@dcs.gla.ac.uk> Department of Computing Science, Glasgow University 17 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow G12 8QQ Scotland +44 (41) 330-4984
