- I have an $18 serial mouse, which won't work when I bring up X with the
- entry set to
-
- Microsoft "/dev/ttys0"
-
- The cursor jumps around wildly. I have to stop X, change the entry to
-
- Busmouse "/dev/ttys0"
-
- and then it works. But, it won't work if I run it with Busmouse first, I
- have to run it as Microsoft. Any suggestions? I would like set things up
- so I can just turn on my machine, and have it come up in xdm.
-
- thanks,
