856.0. "Mouse not working , ULTRIX-32 ( DECwindows)" by HANNAH::MISHRA () Tue May 30 1989 17:25

    mouse not working under decwindows ( ULTRIX-32 ).
    
    I am using Microvax II with QVSS card and round mouse and a monochrome 
    monitor. I have installed UWS 2.0 ULTRIX-32 software with DECwindows.
    I get a logon display, I can logon but I cannot use the mouse ( key
    board is operational ), but after logging I cannot do anything.
    
    I tried to move the cursor using Ctrl-setup key but it does not move
    the cursor.
    
    Any suggetions.
    
    or some one can give ma a pointer where I should look for similar 
    notes.

856.1I don't think Ultrix supports the corporate mouse on a QVSSMIPSBX::thomasThe Code WarriorTue May 30 1989 18:151

    .1 is correct.
    
    You must use the old Quadrature mouse.

They also don't support CTRL/F3 keyboard mouse simulation, I don't believe.

                     -< which UWS version I should use ? >-
    
    I may be wrong, but I don't think there *is* one.
    
    I have a lab QVSS machine which can be booted from either ULTRIX or
    VMS.  It's a pain to have to *use* the old mouse for ULTRIX, but at
    least the two mice seem to tolerate each other's installation (the
    corporate rat plugs into the monitor cable, and the roller-ball rat
    plugs into the backplane).  I've found that I do *not* have to
    de-install the unused mouse when switching between OS's.
