Hi folks,
I don't know why configuring a mouse has always given me so much trouble. I
have a MS Inport BusMouse (It says so on the bottom of the mouse)which makes
it a busmouse. I have it set to IRQ 2. From experience in 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 I
learned that I had to change the mouse header file (busmouse.h??) to change
the IRQ value for the mouse from 2 to 9. I did that and built a new kernel.
I then installed the new kernel and ran mouseconfig. Everything autodetected
properly (so it seemed). In the /dev directory, /dev/mouse is linked to
/dev/inportbm which is what I recall is correct for this silly beast. In
4.2 using this setup had the mouse working in terminals. Now gpm won't
recognize my mouse on startup. On shutdown it complains saying that "you
shouldn't be seeing this error"(that's really helpful :-( ). Does anyone
have a clue as to what is going on here?
Many thanks,
Mark
