uh uh ...
its a serial mouse ... im absolutely sure of it ... gpm was never running in
the first place either. i tried to start gpm and it wouldnt work.Gpm would st
art , but no 'pointer' was ever visible. Its slakware 3.5 . I tried the sym
link as well at first.. but could not get the mouse to work at all. in the
slakware setup I chose /dev/cua0 (ttyS0) as the
port the mouse is on. but to no avail. I can use it in the BIOS, but not in
linux , it worked well in windows ( I hear so often )
any thoughts ??
