Any such animal out there? > Does XENIX 386 2.2.1 have an event driver? Try "mkdev mouse". If it works, you have a mouse driver in the kernel, if it does not work, you have to hand-roll one. One suggestion, in that case, would be to take code out of some other program, like X-windows, or mgr or something, which already have the mouse routines.

There is a bug with Logitech Bus Mouse in ALL XENIX 286/386 ALL releases: *** kernel mouse driver can't find mouse *** I know, how to fix it (for code hackers only): You must replace in file busmouse.o function is_busmouse: is_busmouse(port) { return (inb(port + 1) == 1); } instead of strange ridiculous code made by SCO programmers, then replace this module in /usr/sys/conf/libio.a and, if it exist, in /usr/sys/conf/vpixio.a -- In-Real-Life: Andrew A.
