- ATI GRAPHICS VANTAGE MOUSE PORT PROBLEMS
- ----------------------------------------
-
-
- The ATI graphics vantage video card comes with a mouse port
- and an ATImouse. The mouse port will accept other mice as
- well. There tend to be problems using a mouse through this
- port due to interupt conflicts. But this can be resolved
- by setting the interupts for the mouse on the video
- board. Follow the steps below to do this...
- ..
- ...
- 1) On disk 1 of the utilities disks which come with the
- board there is a program called INSTALL ( on some it
- is VINSTALL ). This must be run from DOS
- ( booted DOS not a vdm dos session in OS/2 ).
- ...
- 2) Select "Set Power Up Configuration". This will list
- current selections for the board.
- ...
- 3) First thing to check is the Mouse Enable/Disable
- selection. Of course this must be set to enable.
- If it is not, then enable it. This may be your
- only problem.
- ...
- 4) Check port addresses. Primary should be:23C to 23F
- Secondary should be 238 to 23B
- you should not need to mess with these.
- ...
- 5) Set the interupt level. The available levels are 2-5,
- but 2-4 are already used by the system. 5 is a good
- choice as long as they are only using one printer.
- The interupt for lpt2 is 5 but as long as the only
- have one printer this will be no problem.
- If they want to use 2 printers, then advice them
- to get a converter to use the mouse in a serial port.
- ...
- ...
- NOTE: if during install they use another mouse beside
- the ATI, it may not work. advise them to use
- the ATI mouse during the install, and then switch
- back if they want to use the other.
- ...
- ...
- Any other questions call ATI customer service:416-756-0711.
