Inport Mouse

[Terry Page <tpage@Masterpack.com.au>]

I have been trying for weeks now to get my Microsoft Inport Mouse to work
without success.
I have been back through the last four months archives hoping to find an
answer and have read all the documentation on Mice I can find.

Is there someone using a Microsoft Inport Mouse who can tell me their setup
either.

I have changed the jumper setting on the card to 5 and checked
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/busmouse.h to make sure the define MOUSE_IRQ
also was 5 and compiled and installed the kernel.

I have tried the following, all described in the HOWTO
	gpm -t bm.
	mknod /dev/inportbm 10 2
	insmod msbusmouse.o mouse_irq=5

I just can't seem to get this inport mouse working. I know the hardware is
ok as I re-installed Windows to check and the Linux again (just to test
mouse).

My alternate to getting the inport mouse going is to purchase another mouse
and serial card. I would prefer not to have to do this if possible.

Thank you in anticipation.

Terry
