Message-ID: <364@mjbtn.MFEE.TN.US> Date: 20 Nov 88 23:34:38 GMT Organization: JobSoft Design & Development, Murfreesboro, TN Lines: 44 Hello netlanders, I finally got MY version of VP/ix 1.1.0 along with my long awaited update to 2.3.1 OS. I installed the 2.3.1 upgrade with no real trouble and it seems to work fine. However, when I installed VP/ix, it never asked me about a mouse and I also remember reading that it might or might not depending on my setup. I assumed that because 2.3.1 used the mouse, VP/ix made use of that. I followed the instructions to install my mouse. I have a Logitech Bus mouse on interrupt vector 5. I typed 'mkdev mouse' and selected option '6' for the Logitech Bus mouse. Well, all went very well, and it relinked the kernel with no problems. Then I rebooted my system (cold) and proceeded to use the 'usemouse' command to check it out. It didn't work. The mkdev prrogram created two device files in /dev/mouse, bus0 and vpix0. They had major number 10 and minor numberS 0 and 1 respectively. When I booted my system, no mention of the mouse appeared in the boot screen. When I try to run vpix or usemouse, I get a "cannot open" error on the bus0 and vpix0 (for VP/ix). Does any one have any idea what might be happening here? SCO, if you are listening, do you? The Logitech manual claims that the "bus board i/o address is set at 23C to 23F." Shouldn't the mouse, if properly installed, show up on the boot screen? Also, I tried setting the base address to 0H (auto config) and 023CH during the mouse setup with the same results each time. I would appreciate any information that anyone might provide on this matter. It isn't the end of the world I guess, but I have having to figure out how to use the keyboard again in my DOS applications! :-) By the way, when the machine is booted on the DOS partition, the mouse works great. I have a Tandy 4000 (386/16 mHz) with 2 meg RAM if that is of any consequence. Email responses would be fine. I will summarize and post if I learn anything of real valae. Thanks in advance!
