Subject: Help with Mouse and XFree86
Hey all!
I'm new to Linux, so please bear with my newbie questions!
I have installed Xfree86 on Slackware (DragonLinux version). I can't seem
to
get my mouse working, though. I am running a IBM-Compatible, K6-200. My
mouse is a Microsoft-compatible 2-button connected on COM-1 via 9-pin
serial
connector. I have tired about every combination I can think of in the
XF86Config program, but can't get my mouse to function. The mouse works
fine
in Win98. I need help! :)
(1) Should I be choosing "Microsoft Mouse" or "Bus mouse" in setup?
(2) What "/dev/ttyXX" (where "XX" is some number) should I be using for
COM1? I've tried "/dev/mouse", "/dev/tty00" to "/dev/tty04" with no luck.
(3) Is there any way to exit the "X" program without a hard reboot?
(4) THANKS in advance!
