=>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

=>driver out of beta status?  Is it worth getting? :-)

=>
=>Thanks for any and all info!

   If it helps answer the question, the ATI Graphics Ultra mouse is
compatible with a MicroSoft InPort mouse.
