Thanks to everyone who helped me get out of the X loop I was in. Now I'm back to trying to get my mouse to work. It's a serial mouse on Com1 (it worked with that setting in Win95) and I've tried setting the mouse device to ttyS0 in both /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config and /etc/gpm.conf but that hasn't worked. I've also tried ttyS1 and ttyS2 but those didn't work either. I tried running XF86Setup but since I don't have a mouse I can't figure out how to use it. Anyway I think the problem is that my ethernet card (eth0) is using IRQ 3 and according to the BIOS info that is displayed at boot, and the info that the linux displays at boot:
ttyS0 is at 0x02F8 and using irq3 So I'm thinking that I have to get these to be using different IRQs but I'm wondering what's the best way to change one of them. I'm so relieved that I have my network working finally (after spending ALL DAY yesterday on it) that I'm really not looking forward to messing with eth0.
