Well, the latest in X problems... the mouse!!!
I have a Microsoft 2 button mouse hooked up to COM2: and my
Xconfig looks like
Microsoft "/dev/com2"
Baudrate 9600
SampleRate 150
Emulate3Buttons
What happens is when I run xinit and the screen starts up, I can
move the mouse for about 2 seconds. The movements are very
jumpy. But after those two seconds, where the mouse lands is
where it dies. If I can get it into my xterm window, then I can
use xterm (though it is SLOW!!!) I tried useing a lower baud
rate and a lower sample rate, but all this did was confuse the mouse.
When I did this, the mouse would go to the upper left corner and
stay there, ocasionally moving on the X or Y axis.

Thanks again,
