[comp.unix.xenix] logitech C9 busmouse ?

tpf@jdyx.UUCP (Tom Friedel) (12/24/89)

Is there anything special I need to know to add a Logitech C9
Bus Mouse to Xenix 2.3.2 ?
IRQ 2, 3 or 5 Base Address 23ch works under Unix
I get invalid device or address with usemouse 
or open("/dev/mouse/bus0", "r" ) ;
mkdev mouse seemed real straightforward.
I am at a loss.

Tom

Turns out if I boot DOS, run mouse.com, and press Ctl-Alt-Del
then Xenix will 'see' the mouse at 23ch.  Otherwise mouse is
not listed at boot time.  Maybe it si something peculiar about
my system.

Another observation is that the MOUSEIOCREAD ioctl unly appears
to function on /dev/mouse/vpix0, not /dev/mouse/bus0.  This has
been observed on two systems now.

Lastly, does anyone have C code to interface with a serial mouse 
through a serial port? (big request, but it is Christmas)
