Hi,

Is there any way to configure SCO OpenDeskTop system with the MOUSE
connected to the port 'COM2' (second serial port) instead of COM1?
I have COM4 connected for MODEM and COM2 for MOUSE, and COM1 is broken.
I know SCO OpenDeskTop works with the MOUSE connected to COM1 but
can we get it to work when connected to COM2?  I can't get it work!!!
SCOLOGIN screen comes on with the MOUSE in the center of the screen,
but the MOUSE does not move!!!

I have Logitech Serial mouse. 
Following is the detail options I have selected with 
'mkdev serial'
'mkdev mouse'.  
(My responses are in [answer].)
I have tried many other sub-options, but still the mouse does not work.
scologin comes on and the pointer appears in the center of the screen, but
does not move.

Could someone please point out where I may be doing wrong?
I have read manual pages but they did not help.
Would it be the problem with my hardware?
Could you please E-mail your response to this person at ckim@utcc.utoronto.ca?

Thank you very much

-Paul
