- Join the MGR channel of the Linux mailing list. Please!!!
-
- I don't have an ATI VGAWonder card with bus mouse. Is the protocol
- Microsoft compatible? I think answering this question is your task, and
- it will also answer your posting.
-
- I don't know what the 0.97 busmouse driver does, because I still run
- 0.96c-pl1. Can someone enlighten me? If it provides a device which
- looks like a serial line with a mouse connected, MGR should work with
- it.
-
- If you would have joined the MGR channel, you would know that the
- version on tsx-11 is *old*. Unfortunately, there is no newer version
- which supports VGA, because I have no VGA and no VGA hacker is still
- working on MGR. Sorry. I will announce the next version which supports
- VGA. The neccessary changes should be small, however.
