Hello, First it was my friends now it's mine. I am a recent convert to LINUX. Here also MICROSOFT is bugging me. The problem is that i have a 133 MHz AST Branded Machine ATI Mach64 Card with 1Mb VGA Card Ram. and the MOUSE is ALAS made by MICROSOFT(MICROSHIT). The problem is, it is a PS/2 Auxilliary mouse and is connected on the keyboard controller. The mouse is working fine with gpm. Sometime ago when i had RedHat 5.1 it was working fine but sometime the X Server crashed giving the message cannot open mouse. Now i have SLACKWARE 3.5(2.0.34) and when i startx the X crashes saying that cannot open mouse, but this is only if the link in XF86Config is /dev/mouse or /dev/psaux , if use according to advice on this list /dev/gpmdata the X Server starts, everything is fine except that the mouse does not move. Now when i change the link in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to gpm -t pnp -R the mouse goes in Upper right most corner end the menu opens and nothing. I have even tried gpm -k before running X, but that won't help. I use LILO and have Win98, and the mouse is running fine in Win98. At the back of the mouse is written Mouse Port Compatible Mouse 2.0A Microshit Corporation , Made in Mexico FCC ID: C3KSMP1 Part No: 62687 I hope that will be useful I have tried for two days to figure this out. OK, please help as much as you can be i am a recent convert to LINUX . "Microsoft doesn't care about security because I don't believe they think it affects their profit. And honestly, it probably doesn't." -Russ Cooper of NT BUGTRAQ
