J. Vermillion - Orlando / Winter Park, FL Date: Tue, 20 May 1997 00:21:35 GMT Message-ID: <1997May20.002135.11448@bilver.oau.org> Lines: 25 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:41259 The answer about enabling a ps-mouse that was here last week didn't work for me. Probably because I so new to BSD (though the version 7 syntax is coming back after a 12 year abscence) that I'm not doing something correctly. The psmouse driver shows a conflict with the sc0/vt0 (SCO and VT-200) console drivers. I tried several things, including moving it base address. (I didn't think that would work, but I gave it a shot). (I did this by building the kernel each time from the conf area, and had to resort to kernel.old - but only once) Am I wrong in making the assumption that since the sc0/vt0 drivers conflict with the psmouse that you can't use the mouse with these emulations and have to run only X? Is there a way to have a ps-mouse and the SCO style emulation? If not, it's not a big-deal on this particular machine since it will be just dishing out web-pages in a rack all by itself.
