[comp.unix.sysv386] Roell's X server and Logitech Bus mouse.

dow@presto.ig.com (Christopher Dow) (01/09/91)

	Is anyone working on a Logitech Bus Mouse driver for Roell's X
server.  The README file says it doesn't support it.

	Thanks.

The ISC Logitech Bus Mouse works fine.  Simply define the mouse with
the following line in the .../mit/src/ddx/at386/config/Xconfig file
(or your {/usr,/usr/local}/lib/X11/config/X386/Xconfig file):

   BusMouse     "/dev/logi"

If you really want a logitech bus mouse driver, I wrote one for ISC 2.x
a long time ago (before ISC included one in their distribution).  Haven't
used it in a long time (since the ISC version works ok.)  BTW, my version
supported VP/ix too.  If you really want a source version, email me a
note.  Or, if I receive more than, let's say, 5 requests, I'll post it
to alt.sources.

Cheers.
