Hello, 


   currently I am running 386bsd 0.1 and XFree 1.2 with a vanilla ET4000 1MB
VGA card and a serial mouse.

I would like to replace that card with an ATI Graphics Ultra card that sits
here unused.  I have seen that XFree supports the ATI Mach8 chip.

In the FAQ a bus mouse driver by Fred Cawthorne (fcawth@delphi.umd.edu) was 
mentioned.  Has anyone gotten this driver to work with an ATI busmouse?  Is the
driver out of beta status?  Is it worth getting? :-)


Thanks for any and all info!
