It works OK under Windows. I've been a Linux user for about 3 years and I never had or heard of this kind of problem. I guess it should be a stupid mistake or something, but I can't see what is it. Is it possible to be a motherboard problem? Mine is a SiS (I forgot the model), with all those PCI, PnP, onboard adapters (sigh). But I guess this bears no problem with respect to serial ports. BTW, I've got a (real) modem running without problems under /dev/ttyS1. At bootup, the kernel says: Serial driver version 4.27 with no serial options enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A So it shouldn't be a IRQ conflict. Also at bootup, setserial reports: Configuring serial ports...done. /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A It seems normal to me. And gpm runs happily, as if nothing were wrong, but the mouse cursor never appears. Neither does X 3.3.2.3 report any errors. The mouse cursor is displayed but doesn't move. When I kill X, it reports: waiting for X server to shut down Fatal server error: Unable to set status of mouse fd (Interrupted system call) Any suggestions TIA, bye Rafael Caetano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
