ATI GRAPHICS VANTAGE MOUSE PORT PROBLEMS
----------------------------------------
The ATI graphics vantage video card comes with a mouse port
and an ATImouse. The mouse port will accept other mice as
well. There tend to be problems using a mouse through this
port due to interupt conflicts. But this can be resolved
by setting the interupts for the mouse on the video
board. Follow the steps below to do this...
1) On disk 1 of the utilities disks which come with the
board there is a program called INSTALL ( on some it
is VINSTALL ). This must be run from DOS
( booted DOS not a vdm dos session in OS/2 ).
2) Select "Set Power Up Configuration". This will list
current selections for the board.
3) First thing to check is the Mouse Enable/Disable
selection. Of course this must be set to enable.
If it is not, then enable it. This may be your
only problem.
4) Check port addresses. Primary should be:23C to 23F
Secondary should be 238 to 23B
you should not need to mess with these.
5) Set the interupt level. The available levels are 2-5,
but 2-4 are already used by the system. 5 is a good
choice as long as they are only using one printer.
The interupt for lpt2 is 5 but as long as the only
have one printer this will be no problem.
If they want to use 2 printers, then advice them
to get a converter to use the mouse in a serial port.
NOTE: if during install they use another mouse beside
the ATI, it may not work. advise them to use
the ATI mouse during the install, and then switch
back if they want to use the other.
Any other questions call ATI customer service:416-756-0711.
