Lewis:
Nice call. I still can't boot w/ the usb mouse attached but with
IBM driver instead of Amouse the eraser stick is smooth and no
hiccups like I was getting before. And I found I can attach the
usb mouse after bootup and it works great as long as I remember to
remove it at shutdown! Before I was getting hangs w/ xWlan & XWP.
Haven't had any problems with a few hours of operations & 2
restarts.
One nit: I didn't know how to 'install' the mouse object (other
than manually changing the config.sys in 2 places). So I decided
to let ecsMT do it for me. Well, it doesn't make a mouse object,
it apparently uses the object that is registered to that <wpmouse>.
I guess it presumes that it is replacing only the ibm mouse. All
that said, my Amouse object now has the ibm mouse driver attached
to it. It's only cosmetic's. I guess I could change the name of
the object but I don't know if all the tabs within the object are
the same or if they changed when the driver changed.
Anyway, thanks for the tip, it seems to be working well and next I
can tackle uniaud. By the time I get this sorted out rc6 will
probably be rolling out and I can start this exercise all over
again ;)
