Hi all, I'm trying to compile mouse support into my kernel (2.0.6), but for the life of me I can't get the mouse to function. I have a busmouse on an ATI Graphics Ultra + card (which the HOWTO says is a regular busmouse, NOT an ATI busmouse). When I run MSD under dos, it reports a busmouse using IRQ4. So far, so good.
When I try to use the mouse (gpm -m /dev/inportbm) I just get the message "/dev/inportbm - No such device". So I tried removing the inportbm and recreating it (mknod /dev/inportbm c 10 2); running the "file" command on the new inportbm indicates that it is a character special (10, 2). Still no luck - no such device. I've tried compiling with busmouse support and NO serial support, compiling with serial support and NO busmouse support, and compiling with both busmouse AND serial support. In all cases I get "no such device" when using /dev/inportbm. On the two kernels with serial support, the gpm -m /dev/ttys0 command does not fail with an error, but it does not provide any visible mouse support either. And I have checked that busmouse.h #defines MOUSE_IRQ = 4. I set both serial and busmouse support to be in the kernel, not in modules. I've read the busmouse-HOWTO and the FAQ and have not been able to solve this problem. Does anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? The mouse works fine under DOS/Windows, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem. Thanks all. -jj
