I was able to install it fairly quick. But I had one problem which I didn't notice and later showedup when I was configuring XFree86. The problem seemd to be with the mouse. My WIN95 configuartion tells me that my mouse is Microsoft PS/2 Bus Mouse!!! I used Microsoft compatible mouse at IRQ 5 and Port 0x23c in my kernel configuration (default), but the probe indicates an error in finding the mouse posrt at that add. I tried using PS/2 mouse but I have conflict with the default port address of 0x60. I don't know which port address to use for that. Can someone suggest me where this problem could be, and what is the fix for that. I would appreciate your reponses. Thanks, Sreeni.
