Can anyone help me
Just for more fun and confusion I have a little more info. First of all I
should tell you that I am a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy and
consequently I was issued (I bought it, but it was deducted from my pay and
given to me like every other one of my classmates) my computer. I tried to
do as you said with the gpm, however, it said that there was no such device
as /dev/psaux. Also, on the back of my computer (all my documentation is
photocopied by the company that mass produced these machines for us and does
not include everything I'd like) the port that my mouse is plugged into is
labeled COM1 not that that necessarily means anything.
Anyway if someone has anymore ideas or could help me, I'd be extremely
grateful.
Thanks,
Chris

A bit more detail...
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 10, 1 May 27 1997 /dev/psaux
gpm is started thusly:
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2
While it appears to work ok, I don't use it much on that
system. It's new and I haven't upgraded to frozen yet
and the video card is not supported under x. I have done
a little with vga16 at 640x480 but that leaves something
to be desired (ie. it sucks). So maybe I haven't used
it enough to make it fail.
Let me know how it goes.

I tried that, I set the mouse protocol to PS/2, the device to psaux, and
tried it with both 3 button emulation on and off. Do I need to do anything
to the gpm (are those the right letters?) to set it up. Do I need to
somewhere assign something to psaux. Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

I have one of those. I have to use ps2 protocol and
/dev/psaux for the device. The intellipoint thing does
not work for me. If anyone has a way to make the wheel
do something (even act as the middle button) I would
like to hear about it...

Subject: Mouse Fun
I am currently trying to set up X Windows and trying to set up my mouse. The
mouse is Microsoft (it says so on the outside) however when I set it up in
W95 the program in the lower right hand corner says Microsoft IntelliPoint.
Right now I've tried to set it up with both IntelliPoint and Microsoft in X
Windows, however it only responds intermittently. After I change the sample
settings (usually between 50 and 75) and accept those settings occasionally
the mouse will work perfectly, then without changing a thing I accept the
settings again, and my mouse becomes unresponsive. Sometimes after just
continuing to accept time and time again the mouse become responsive, other
times I need to change some settings and reaccept to do that.
Personally, I'm mystified. Can anyone help. One more piece of info on the
mouse, according to Microsoft its a "Microsoft serial mouse with wheel".
Thanks a ton,
Chris
