- I have my ATI-busmouse running under at least linux 0.98pl1 pl3 and
- pl4. I didn't have any bigger problem using the mouse.
-
- It is correct that the kernel detects an Microsoft and a ATI-XL
- busmouse. It's just the same for me.
-
- Check out if your mouse device has the correct Major and Minor device
- number. It should be 10 and 2 as stated in the README file. Check if
- your Xconfig contains the correct entry for your mouse.
-
- At least there may be a problem with your interrupt. In default the kernel
- uses IRQ 5 (with the kernel distributed with SLS). This interupt may be
- used by some other device (LPT2 for instance). If so the Kernel keeps track
- which interrupt is used and does not allow the mouse device to use the same
- interrupt when X is started. If this is your problem then you have to change
- the interrupts and to recompile the kernel.
-
- Hope this helps
