You can use any serial mouse with it for X11 ( DB25 to DB9 adaptor; XF86Config-4 : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "Mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "dev/ttyS0" Option "Protokol" "Microsoft" EndSection > I have tried to install three different OS's on it > so far without success (Solaris 8, old version > of Red Hat - Sparc 6.0 and the latest Debian > Sparc download from an ISO sight). Solaris > bombed because the frame buffer is unsupported. Solaris 8 discontinued to support the Leo. You can use the driver from Solaris 7. Solaris only booted as I set the ID of my external Plextor-CDRW to 6. Any other ID failed (my NVRAM is dead, so I simply used "boot diskx"). However, my SS20 doesn't even recognize the Leo as graphics card. I use a TGX-board to see the OBP-output. > RedHat version and the Debian Sparc version > bombed because of an error in the scsi sub- > system, got an esp0 unending loop off the > scsi bus.
