Okay, I installed potato on my old Dell XPi 133ST laptop. Everything seems to be fine now, except the mouse in X. In the /dev directory /dev/mouse is linked to gpmdata. I assume this was done by the gpm install. With this setting the builtin optical trackball sorta' works on the console. However, the cursor never moves in X. So, I plugged in an external Intellimouse, when I try to move it in X the cursor jumps to either the bottom or top of the screen and stays there.
In my XF86Config I have the IMPS/2 protocol specified and have tried /dev/mouse /dev/psaux and /dev/ttyS0 as the devices. I know that /dev/psaux isn't linked to anything. This XF86Config file originally came from someone's website with the same laptop and it worked okay under slink, except I could only get 640x480 @256 colors. I don't mind the color depth much if I could get 800x600, or is that just a wild fantasy? A little more info about my system Video Card = NeoMagic NM2070 # Yes it well and truly sucks :( Xfree version = 3.3.6 Xserver = SVGA If any further info is required let me know and I will happily supply it. -- Charles H.
