A couple of days ago, I posted a message that I couldn't get the mouse
to work on a 3100 - X11 with the the August snapshot. I have managed to
get the mouse working now by changing the mouse mode to the continuous
reporting mode rather than the polled mode.
first I made a device so I could send to the mouse
mknod mse c 16 1
boojumite# ls -l /dev/mse
crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16, 1 Oct 25 20:37 /dev/mse
then I set the mouse operation mode to continous report mode:
echo R >/dev/mse
The mouse will now work in X11!
Is the the mouse on the 3100 supposed to work in polled mode?
Anyway I'm happy now
Thanks, its nice to have a modern operating system on this old dinosaur!
