I am being driven crazy by trying to get the mouse to work with X. Tried a serial mouse also but no luck there either. If there is any movement at all it is jerky and sometimes freezes. I think the bios hard sets the uarts. Does anyone remember the key sequence to get to the bios on a Packard bell of 1990 vintage? Or, any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
