Subject: Installing Microsoft BusMouse on OpenDesktop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone installed a Microsoft BusMouse on OpenDesktop (SCO 1.0) ?
After selecting the correct options during installation (yes - they have an
M/S BusMouse menu option) I find that the beastie doesnt respond.
[ie - usemouse -t vi [et cetera] gives ...
d_open: unable to open device "/dev/mouse/bus0" for read only
the device exists ...
crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 16, 0 Jan 10 1990 /dev/mouse/bus0
... it just seems to have no driver attached]
I installed the bus mouse on IRQ 5 and address 0x300 (and the mouse has
the jumpers set to this), but when I rebuild the kernel and look at the files
generated on the way, I discover the following ...
o /etc/conf/cf.d/sdevice thinks the mouse has no IRQ and is at address 0x23c
the entry is: busmouse Y 1 1 0 0 23c 23f 0 0
o /etc/conf/pack.d/busmouse/space.c thinks, correctly that mousint=5 &
mousbase=0x300
o /usr/adm/hwconfig has no entry for a mouse
Any useful comments would be much appreciated (the only one Ive had so far
is "Bus mouse ? Thats bad news").
love & peace
tim
