- We currently have three drivers available by anonymous ftp:
-
- A port of Erik Forsberg's bus mouse driver for 386bsd was posted to
- comp.unix.bsd in Oct 91 by Sandi Donno sandi@uctcs.cs.uct.ac.za.
- It's available by anon ftp from kappa.rice.edu (128.42.4.7) in
- pub/ms-busmouse.tar.Z.
-
- A beta release of a logitech Bus Mouse driver written by Fred
- Cawthorne <fcawth@delphi.umd.edu> which supports XFree86 under
- 386bsd. It's on kappa.rice.edu in pub/logitech-busmouse-0.2.shar.Z.
-
- Rick Macklem <rick@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca> wrote a driver for the
- Logitech and ATI Inport Bus mice for use with 386bsd. There are
- patches to this driver by Eugene Stark <stark@sbcs.sunysb.edu> to
- support the Microsoft bus mouse. It's on kappa.rice.edu in
- pub/Macklem-busmouse.uu.
-
- 386bsd kernel binaries with bus mouse drivers are not available, but
- if someone were willing to help us test and support them it could be
- done. We can't without the hardware.

- David> Why?
-
- If you kill the server or it dies, it doesn't restore the screen.
- It should restore the screen when the server is allowed to shut down
- gracefully.

- David> Fatal Server error:
- David> could not open default font 'fixed'
-
- Incorrect font istallation can cause this error message and the most
- common mistake is uncompressing /usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/*.
- This causes the server to abort when it cannot open compressed font
- files listed in /usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir. The safest
- way to fix it is to unpack core-fonts-1.1.tar.Z again. But you can
- also compress them if you uncompressed them, or rerun mkfontdir in
- order to fix the fonts.dir file. Rich
