I configured the Inport card for irq 3, which is unused at this time. Other parameters were set according to the documentation. The device config. is: device mse0 at isa? port 0x23c tty irq 3 vector mseintr On boot, the system recognizes the card, and XFree86 starts up OK. Unfortunately, the pointer does not track the mouse movements. When the mouse moves, the pointer jumps to the upper left corner, and basically stays there (some jerking occurs while moving the mouse, but it typically ends back in upper left). I suspect that the port is set wrong, since nothing else configured is using port 0x23c. Also, I tried other irq settings, with the same result. I appreciate any pointers, esp. suggestions for port and other settings. Thanks greatly. -- Bill Douglass, TCADA "I dreamed I was to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet." L. Anderson
