Hi Folks, I've installed potato from CD but X failed with an error relating to the mouse.
There was no /dev/mouse, so I created a symlink to /dev/ttys1. Now I get an I/O error when X tries to open the mouse device. I tried the following: echo bananas > /dev/ttys1 echo bananas > /dev/ttys0 and I get I/O errors both times. I looked at the output from dmesg and found an improbable number of serial ports: ... Serial driver version 4.27 with no serial options enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A ttyS04 at 0x3220 (irq = 3) is a 8250 ttyS05 at 0x3228 (irq = 3) is a 16550 ttyS06 at 0x4220 (irq = 3) is a 8250 ttyS07 at 0x4228 (irq = 3) is a 16550 ttyS08 at 0x5220 (irq = 3) is a 8250 ttyS09 at 0x5228 (irq = 3) is a 16550 Does anybody know what's going on here? How can I pass options to the serial driver to get it to see only 2 ports? Regards, Ross.
