I'm sure I've seen the topic arise before, but it's been a while, and I wasn't concerned about the answer at the time so I didn't pay attention... However, I'm now trying to get the Logitech serial mouse working through FAS 2.08 for ISC X11R3 1.2. Oh, and yes I have NS16550A's in there. Thanks. -- Richard Krehbiel, private citizen ckp@grebyn.com (Who needs a fancy .signature?)

Switch your mouse to Mouse Systems mode and tell your programs that you have a Mouse Systems mouse. That should work. BTW, I still don't know what special tricks the Logitech mouse driver is doing that don't work with FAS. If anyone found out what's going on I'd like to hear about it.

I use a Logitech Trackman with FAS208, on a *non-FIFO* port, with Roell's X386 server. Works like a champ! The problem may be trying to use a mouse on a FIFO-based port. I remember that the ISC server didn't like the Trackman, not sure why.

Having just spent all afternoon Friday trying to get a new Logitech trackball running under Xenix 2.3.3 and VP/IX 1.2 with no luck I read ``Welcome to comp.unix.sysv386'' and what should be the last item? 31. Why doesn't my brand spanking new Logitech mouse work? The answer (from Conor P Cahill uunet!virtech!cpcahil): ``This is caused by the fact that Logitech (in their infinite wisdom) changed from emulating a Mouse Systems mouse to emulating a Microsoft mouse. So if you want to use one of the new mice, configure it as a Microsoft mouse. NOTE: If you are using an older Logitech mouse and sometimes have problems getting ISC's X to communicate with it, reconfigure it as a Mouse Systems mouse and all your problems will go away.'' I haven't tried this yet, but will in the morning when I go back to the client site. I HOPE LIKE HELL IT WORKS!

(I haven't yet tried Mouse Systems mode, but I will shortly. I have re-confirmed that the mouse does work via ISC's own asy device, but it does not work with FAS 2.08, even when I force FIFO mode off.) -- Richard Krehbiel, private citizen ckp@grebyn.com (Who needs a fancy .signature?)

Things seem to work fine with just allowing the standard asy driver drive the mouse. But of course there is nothing that will drive my Telebit like FAS will. :-) Please let me know if there is a way to allow FAS to drive a Logitech mouse model # CC-93-9F so I can get rid of the asy driver once and for all.
