RE: Mouse problems

["James Kyd" <james kyd UnitedAdvertising co uk>]

Sorry,
	The pointer section in my XF86Config file dose contain /dev/mouse and not
dev/mouse I miss typed it. Also the irq for ttyS0 is set to 4 am I right in
thinking that this is not the default irq complied in the kernel for a
mouse. I know the irq for a PS/2 mouse has to be 12, what about the other
types of mice?

 I was unsuccessful in using setserial to change the irq both from the
command line and adding an entry to rc.local. Would this have been the
correct way to do it, or do I make a change in the /procs/interrupts
file????

Can anyone help!!!!!!

Hello,
	I have been using XF86Setup on RH 6.0 to try and configure the mouse and I
have tried all of the Protocols listed here on three different mice. A
generic three button serial mouse, a Logitech mouse and a PS/2 mouse. The
pointer doesn't move at all, although when I was using the generic serial
mouse under the Microsoft Protocol some mouse clicks were recognized but
there was no movement. These mice do work on other machines.

I don't have a PS/2 port so these mice have been plugged into my serial port
when trying to test them. I have successfully started X without the mouse
working.

The pointer section from my XF86Config file is shown below where dev/mouse
has a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 (where my mouse is plugged in) and
"Microsoft" is one of many Protocols I have tried. All the other entries in
the pointer section have been commented out.

Section "Pointer"

Protocol	"Microsoft"
Device		"dev/mouse"

I don't know what kudzu is, how can it help me?
