Hi... I'm having problems getting a mouse to work under SCO XENIX 2.3.2 I have a Logitech Bus Mouse, and installed it in my machine (DFI 386SX) according to the manual that came with it. I set the only jumper on the bus mouse board to interrupt 5, as suggested in the manual. I then ran 'mkdev mouse', and specified that I was using a Logitech Bus mouse. The device '/dev/mouse/bus0' was created. Following mkdev's instructions, I relinked the kernel, and re-booted the system so the new kernel would take effect. When I type 'usemouse' I am getting the following message: d_open: unable to open device ``/dev/mouse/bus0'' for read only ev_open: error attaching device usemouse: cannot open even queue(6) In /dev/mouse, there are two devices: bus0 and vpix0 They have read/write permissions for everybody. I'd like to be able to use the mouse with a couple of applications under VP/ix. I tried loading the mouse driver in the VP/ix environment, but this did not help matters. I'd appreciate any help I can get regarding this problem. Please e-mail all responses. Thank you in advance for your assistance. -- Shawn M.

I have a wierd problem using my Logitech bus mouse with SCO Xenix 2.3.3 with XSight, and with VP/ix. I get some of the same errors as shawn, but if I boot under DOS, the logitech drivers initialize the mouse board, and then when I reboot, and let Xenix boot, it works. __WEIRD___!!!!

SCO released a new logitech bus mouse driver which takes care of this problem. The maintainence supplement is unx204 and should be available on sosco. Even though it is designated as a unix supplement, it also works with Xenix. You just use install in single user mode, then remove, then reinstall the mouse drivers. One thing I hate about the new driver. It can only run at irq 5. So much for using a 150mb tape drive. Its not documented but j2 should be set to 1. (not the irq jumper block) >__WEIRD___!!!! I don't know, LAME is what comes to my mind. >Jay A. Snyder "Let Me Up! I've had enough" Ben Taylor Systems Administrator LCC, Inc. uunet!lccinc!bent (202) 828-5550 x642 Ski Unix.
