After installing the X11 patches, and the socket emulation
on our system, I tried to install a mouse with very little success.
It is a 3 button logitec bus mouse. After installing it using mkdev
mouse, (which works fine, and the mouse shows up on the hardware
list upon xenix bootup) I tried the usemouse program. As a user
it responds: Can't open slave device (Errno 13). If I try it as
root it gives no error message just prints Xenix386!login on the
console and returns to the shell prompt. Either way the mouse
does not work. X windows will startup, but with no mouse all I
can do is admire its beauty :)
There does not seem to be any conflicts with cards, as I
tried stripping everything from the machine, except the essentials
and it still would work. I also tried installing a 2 button serial
mouse with no luck. Any ideas?
System configuration (if relevant)
Xenix 2.3.2 (w/2.3.1 of dev. sys)
20MHz 386 w/ 4Mb memory
2 150Mb hard drives
Wyse intelligent multiport serial card
Archive 120Mb tape backup
Standard VGA (ATI) screen.
Thanxs
Jim
