Richard , I have now 3 of 4 ser ports used : - Com1 for sernet - com2 for modem - com4 for mouse and everything is ok under smsq/e . I do not have the necessary devices to test the 4 port at the same time (i'll try soon linking in sernet also my qpc laptop) , for the moment i made some test moving the mouse from com3 to com4 and it work. Coming back to linux : the mouse on com4 (idem for com3) doesn't work . I'll try to explain better : the mouse on com3 work very badly and the mouse pointer moves in jerks and very rarely exactly like when there is an irq conflict. (IRQ_Sharing). I had a look in procs/interrupt and everything seems ok and during linux boot the 4 port are recognized.
Not only but i just added to q40 a wireless (TRUST) keyboard and mouse, the keyboard works without problem both with smsqe and linux, the mouse obviously does not work expecting it the "ps2" mouse protocol . This is valid for smsqe where i think only serial protocol is implemented but should not be true for linux where is possible to switch to "ps2" protocol. Mouse is attached to the q40 with a serial to ps mouse adapter. I try some tests without success, what do you think about ? How can i switch in linux to ps2 protocol ? Any hope to implement mouse ps protocol in smsqe ? Red_hat 7.2 for m68k is a big news , let me know where i can download it.
