Re: [linrad] Intel 82801E Display Adapter

["Sigurd Kimpel" <sigurd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help.  It turned out that /etc/X11R6/XF86Config  had the
mouse protocol as IMPS/2, and /etc/vga/svga.conf had the protocol as PS/2.
Now the mouse works just fine and I can begin to try and troubleshoot
problems getting oss to work with the Intel AC-97 Audio Controller.

73.... Sigurd
