RE: Yet another Mouse problem...
Thanks those who offered suggestions. Turns out that the keyboard was faulty, and not the mouse. Replaced that, and Volia! the mouse was once again mouse-ing around. David --- David J.

Thanks in adnavce for any info! What worked for me (and forgive the lack of detail -- I have no access to my Ultra2 from where I am right now) was configuring the mouse through gpm (pointing to /dev/sunmouse with a type of busmouse if I remember right), then using /dev/gpmdata for X. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yet another Mouse problem...
Hi all, I've been going through all the debian-Sparc mail archives to avoid bothering anybody with yet another mouse question. I've found bits of what I'm looking for, but nothing seems to work. After about a week of playing with this, I'm getting to the end of my rope. Anyway, I've got a dual processor Ultra 2, with a sun type 5 keyboard, and a sun mouse (Compact 1) plugged into the keyboard. I've got Debian 3.0 r1 installed, and X up and running. The only problem is that the mouse doesn't work! Here's what I've done so far: I've replaced the mouse thinking that the hardware might be bad I've followed the advice from this list given in march 2001 of doing: cd /dev rm sunmouse mknod -m 600 sunmouse c 10 6 I've installed egcs64 (which wasn't installed for some reason) I've re-deleted sunmouse and re mknod'ed I've looked in /proc/interrupts and I don't see anything that looks like a mouse. The interrupts I've got are 0-timer, 4-ESP SCSI, 5-HAPPY MEAL,11-floppy, 12-Zilog8530, 15-SYSIO UE:7f4, SYSIO CE:7f5, SYSIO SBUS Error:7f6 My /dev/mouse = mouse-sunmouse gpm is NOT running my XF86Config-4 file looks OK, my configued mouse points to /dev/sunmouse protocol = busmouse, then my generic mouse points to /dev/input/mice, and protocol = ps/2.
