- Hey, does anybody know why my serial mouse (Microsoft type) does not
- work properly when I am using the modem? The mouse is in COM1 and the
- baud rate is selected by the server - I don't tell it what it should be
- in the Xconfig. The modem is in COM2 at 2400 baud.
- Normally, the mouse is fine. When I am on the modem, however,
- the server will only respond to the mouse after a keypress. So, you can
- adjust the mouse, hit a key to see it go, adjust the mouse some more, hit
- another key...
- To make matters more confusing, the mouse works fine when I am
- doing a zmodem download.
- Is this something that XFree is doing, or the operating system?
- I am running 386BSD 0.1. If this is an operating system question, I will
- ask elsewhere...
- Thanks.
- John Galbraith
