Dear Mr. Alessandro Rubini,
This is a mail regarding the problem with the mouse in kernel 2.0.0

A few months back, I had installed kernel 1.2.13 on my machine. It was
wroking perfectly fine. A few days back I downloded kernel version 2.0.

There were a few problems.

gpm not recognizing /dev/mouse. The same thing works with kernel 1.2.13

Even upgrade to gpm-1.09.tar.gz dosen't seem to be working. because of
this openwin is also not working.

I have Microsoft's 2 button mouse, which is working fine with kernel1.2.13

It is atteched to com1.
Following is the configuration file for the kernel.
