I am having difficulties in getting my system to recognize my mouse. I have
a Microsoft mouse. It doesn't connect to any of the serial ports, so I am
assuming that it is a bus mouse (I know virtually nothing about PC hardware).
Someone posted that to get a bus mouse to work, you needed to add the
following to the kernel configuration:
device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 4 vector mseintr
I did that, recompiled the kernel, and did a sh MAKEDEV mse0. When the kernel
polls for the mouse, it gets the following:
mse0: wrong signature ff
mse0: not found at 0x23c
If I try to access /dev/mse0 in any way, the machine reboots.
What am I doing wrong here? What is the correct configuration for this
mouse?
