No, you shouldn't have to recompile the kernel, or change any settings on
your mouse card. You should be able to pass the option to lilo, like
this:
LILO: linux msbusmouse=3
assuming you have an M$ busmouse, on IRQ 3. You might also try 'busmouse'
instead of 'msbusmouse'.
This method will only work if mouse support is compiled directly into the
kernel. I think RH 5.0 might come with support as a module, in which case
you should do the following:
Add the following to /etc/conf.modules:
options msbusmouse mouse_irq=3
You should then be able to start gpm with the following:
# gpm -t bm
and you should see a solid block (mouse cursor) as you move the mouse.
Also, 'lsmod' should show the msbusmouse module.
