I am trying to get the mouse running on an NEC powermate 486 sx-25 i. When installing the mouse driver from floppy, a message says, No module parameters. Depends on misc.o and the driver installation usually fails. When the driver does install and I run vgacardgames there is no pointer. When I quit the game there is a message saying that the mouse must be configured in /etc/vga/libvga.config, where I add the line, mouse PS2. After that the pointer arrow appears but hardly moves from the top right corner and instantly returns to that corner. >From the busmouse HOWTO it appears to be a PS/2 type of mouse. I have also tried a program called multimouse and it behaves in the same way, but in the top left corner.
The machine has a 4x cdrom drive with the debian binary-i386 cdrom. Installing from floppies until the cdrom driver is loaded. I use the internet at the local public library. ** PLEASE SEND YOUR REPLY TO SENDERS EMAIL ADDRESS ** as this address is not on the automated subscriber mailing list. *********************************************************** * Get your FREE e-mail and FREE web site at FIBERIA * * http://www.fiberia.com * ***********************************************************
