        Dear managers, I'll really appreciate your help in solving
        this problem. About one and half year ago I bought a AXPpci33
        board (aka noname) ARC firmware for a development project dealing
        (obviously) with WNT. About 2 months ago the project has ended
        and now I want to turn the machine to DU. Also obviously the board
        is the one with no PS/2-style keyboard and mouse connectors, but
        PC keyboard connector and 2 serial ports (mouse, ...).
        I installed SRM firmware (latest release, from V3.7 CD) and
        installed DU3.2. All is working fine except for mouse and X.
        Is there any way to use a serial mouse (the PC-style keyboard is
        working fine). I've tried to remove the handle MOUSE from SRM
        console (isacfg -slot 0 -dev 0 -rm) and also to configure a
        identical handle on one of the serial ports (handle COM1, COM2)
        without success. I've also tried to change the device driver for
        the mouse in /dev to a similar driver linked to /dev/tty0[0-1].
        No success at all !! Any help or other ideas on the net ???

        TIA
