Hi
Please help a beginner at linux.
I installed the suse linux and i can get
xf86setup running thru yast, but my mouse does not work att all.
after a while the box locks up and i have to
"cntr - alt - del" to get it running again.
In win95 my mouse is placed under com1, irc 4
and it's a serial microsoft mouse 2 button.
Anyone have a clue?
Thank you
Jan Erik Amundsen

Well,
1. please keep the line length to <80 chars. If your software does not
give you a way to check that properly, dump it, it makes you look
not considerable towards others.
2. Did you finish the installation of X?
3. Did you experiment with the different possibilities offered for
mice? (You can use the keyboard ... even if the mouse does not work.
Both in xf86config (just use the shortcuts and TAB) and with X
(Shift+cursor-keys, Shift+Alt+cursor-keys)).
4. You want a 3-button-mouse. You really do.
5. com1 translates to cua0
6. Is gpm running, perhaps? Does your mouse work on the console?
7. Unluckily my mindreading skills are bad, what graphics card are you
using, you said? And does it work with X?
8. So what is /var/log/messages saying about the 'crash' (I think at
worst you managed to get your keyboard info garbled, but you'd still
be able to telnet in if you had the network and a terminal to do
so.)
9. You hopefully did install the howtos ... have a look at them in
/usr/doc/howto.
10.You did look at the SDB? Lynx does work well from a text-console,
too, you know.

I am having a mouse / com port problem also. Am running SuSE 5.1 with a
clone MB. After initial boot and after switching between graphics and
text modes, I loose the mouse. Disconnecting and re-connecting the mouse
at the port seems to correct it. I have tried various BIOS config's
concerning PnP, changing the physical port to logical COM2, etc. Also
using a MS 2 button mouse. My guess is that it is more the fault of the
MB UART than anything else, but I thought I'd throw it out to see if this
sounds familiar to anyone else.
