Hi! I have just installed my first Linux system on a Cyrix200-based computer, using Debian 1.3.1/1.3.2. I have now got it up and running -- except for the mouse and the modem.
I have an internal 33.6 BOCA modem and a serial, two-button mouse with the Microsoft logo on it. The BIOS tells me that it can detect the modem (plug&play) and that the computer has 2 serial ports and one parallel port. I have plugged the mouse on the only plug with 8 pins on the back of the tower. Kermit freezes when I tell it that the modem is at ttyS0, ttyS1, cua0 or cua1. gmp does not freeze when I tell it to look for the mouse, but it takes a long time (especially in ttys0, not so much in ttys1). The XFree86 installation program shows no mouse movement for any configuration. No program can detect the mouse (with gmp in ttys0, ttys1 or killed). Any ideas? The computer (made-to-order) came with documentation for the individual parts, but without any documentation as to how the thing had been assembled. I don't have the equipment or the manual ability necessary to open the tower up and examine its bowels. --Harald [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S.
