If anyone can shed some light on the following problem, I'd much appreciate it. I'm having a problem getting X11 (Xwindows) to run with 386ix. I have configured the asy driver and rebuilt the kernel to support the Logitech serial mouse on COM2; then installed the X11 package and again rebuilt the kernel. I have installed the X3 "server" fix from Interactive, which does not ask for a kernel rebuild. The entry in /usr/lib/X11/Xconfig reads: Resource Type Info Display Device mouse LOGI-S "1200 3" 0 /dev/tty01 display EGA "640x350 16 11x8" 0 /dev/console keyboard AT 101 0 /dev/console:dev/vt%02d It won't come up when I issue "xinit" like it's supposed to...I get messages: ------------ WARNING: Cannot create TCP socket::no such file or directory Fatal server error: the Logitech mouse is not responding--check the connecti & try again. If it still fails, try unplugging & replugging the mouse. XIO: fatal I/O error 32 on xserver "??" Broken pipe after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or Kill client. ------------- Since I don't have TCP/IP installed at the moment the first message is "expected". I do have the STREAMS facility installed. The mouse problem I don't understand because the configuration is pretty simple, and it responds in plain Unix if I use "cat < /dev/tty01" and move the mouse around. Is the I/O error due to the mouse problem? Thanks in advance for pointing me in any helpful directions. Rob Lingelbach roblingelbach@cup.portal.com

If you have X11 version 1.0, get the update right away, as some files were
left off some of the distribution disks. I am awaiting my upgrade to fix
the same problem.

Yes, that's normal, it has to complain because it can't make the connection that it "expects". Shortly after that, however, you should get the root window. > The mouse problem I don't understand because the configuration is pretty > simple, and it responds in plain Unix if I use "cat < /dev/tty01" and > move the mouse around. Try telling xconfig that you have a Mouse Systems mouse rather than a Logitech serial. That has worked for me and others with the same problem. I promise you that unplugging and plugging the mouse again will do little more than wipe the connector pins. > Is the I/O error due to the mouse problem? I think it has to do with the driver and mouse not getting out of the same side of the bed at the same time. The MSC mouse driver is less fussy and seems to work when the Logitech driver doesn't. > Thanks in advance for pointing me in any helpful directions. > > Rob Lingelbach > roblingelbach@cup.portal.com I'd love to take credit for this pearl, but John Crittendon from SunRiver told me about it (uunet!sunriv!johnc). Also, stick with 1200 baud for the serial mouse. Faster isn't better, it might not even work at all. I don't know why MSC works better than the Logitech definition, but it does. Please try this and confirm that it solven your problem (if it did) so that my statistical sample size exceeds three :-) -- Bill Kennedy usenet {texbell,att,cs.utexas.edu,sun!daver}!ssbn!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
