Recently, I installed ODT with the windowing package but i have not been able to get the mouse to move. the cursor comes on screen and moves in an erratic manner when i move the mouse. Sometimes it does not move at all... I've set up the mouse on tty2a(com2) and have tried the usemouse program successfully... Can anyone help?? Here is the configuration of my machine if that will help: 386-33 64k cache 8 MB of memory 90 meg unix partition (with only ODT os,view,dos installed) Trident VGA card SCSI HD controller (adaptec 1542b) 2 serial ports Thank you

If you have a Logitec C9 serial mouse you will have to uncomment a line in /usr/lib/event/devices for the "m4 Logitec serial mouse" Posted by Paul A. Fischer uunet!bohdan!paul

In frustration I plugged in a C7 mouse and everything started working. With x now running, I removed the C7 and plugged in the C9 and found that it now worked! I then stopped x, and re started it to find the C9 dead again. I called AGE and logitec only to be told that there is some kind of a bug in the C9 that responds inproperly to some status command. You might also wish to try this with your SCO.

Try using a different type of mouse and see if that helps. I have also recently seen problems with the Logitech Serial Mouse on SCO ODT. I've tried fiddling with the hardware (interrupts, etc.) to no avail. My personal opinion is that SCO's Logitech Mouse driver may be broken. I have tried this on both an Intel 302 and a DEC 325 and had the same results. The Microsoft Bus Mice seem to work fine on ODT. The Logitech mice work great on ISC UNIX. -- Kevin L.

I use the logitech bus mouse and have had no problems at all. If you are
having troble do not wast your time. The bus mouse cost less than $100.
I think I have seen adds recently for about $75

Sometimes it helps if you wait until the server is ALL the way up, all windows present, etc. IE. wait for the hard drive to STOP. But yeah, it seems to be broken ... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glen Martin |Bitnet: glenm@bnr.ca | Phone: (613) 763-7299 BNR Ltd. | UUCP: ..uunet!bnrgate!bcars218!glenm | FAX: (613) 763-2626 BNR may own my fingers, but my opinions are all mine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try making the modifications to the /usr/lib/event/ files mentioned in the release notes. They fixed the problem for me.
