Unfortuantelly no, this is the program which I was using to play /w
mouse IRQ's, and I usually was trying it under the "primary" adddress
range.

Here is question, can you try dig out the card, and see if you still can
get the mouse working w/ 2.0.28 and if so on what irq, address range
and what kernel cfg and device.

it should be something like :

2.0.28
IRQ 5
23Fh (I'll check this one when I get home)
kernel compiled just w/ BusMouse suppport (only)
the device C 10, 2 (either inportbm or busmouse)

also even more important, does there shows any message during bootup
that the mouse was found, something like is for PS/2 mouse.

[root@ax /etc]# dmesg | grep PS/
PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed.
[root@ax /etc]#
