Re: 3com 3c509 and the mouse
Hello!
Looks like your linux system reconfigures the ethernet card and so WIN
cannot find it at the original resources, I think.
An easy solution: You could switch the 3c509 to non-pnp mode using the 3com
utilities, assigning free resources to it and then do a hardware recogition
(don't konw exactly how it's called in English version) in WIN (and
configure isapnp to not set it up under Linux (this is the default, so you
maybe have to change nothing and you can also try skipping this step)) and
be sure that the 3c509 module recognizes the card properly. If it doesn't
work, feel free to send mails.
But the problem could also be another one: Your 3c509 is in non-pnp but
jumperless mode, and the Linux driver reconfigures it so that windows cannot
find it... seems more reasonable than the above for me!!! A switch to pnp
mode could then fix it.
So, this might be confusing, but I think I would try switching it to the
mode it isn't currently in and see if the problem is fixed by this action.
If you switch to non-pnp, obey the above.
For seeing the mouse at the console, you must install the package gpm. Under
X, I think, your mouse may be configured for the wrong port and you should
fix it in xf86config or it is not plugged in properly or has a broken cable
(like my one).
If you experience problems (I think the above might be new or difficult for
you), you can also mail me under sharcor@gmx.de, because I look through this
mailbox more thoroughly.
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
