- Hi,
-
- you have to check also your mouse-configuration, because the mouse driver
- is an event driver. I had a lot of problems installing ODT the first time
- because of a too little swap area X won't start. Another problem might be
- if you have a Microsoft Busmouse because SCO ODT won't go with that mouse.
- You should reinstall the mouse in single user mode with mkdev mouse, re-
- build the kernel and restart the system by typing init 6.
-
- Good luck
