Everything works just fine and dandy, except for one little detail: the A/UX Toolbox does not seem to notice that there is a mouse attached to the machine. If I launch a Mac application in A/UX, it puts itself up on the screen just like it should, but the cursor doesn't respond to the mouse. The application responds perfectly well to the keyboard, but not to the mouse. I gather from Grasshopper's NeWS documentation that there is something called an "A/UX Mouse Driver" which needs to be present, but may not exist for some monitors. I asked a technical phone person at Moniterm about this, but he seemed to be unaware of the problem (as though noone had yet complained about it). The problem is clearly not that A/UX is totally unable to read the mouse, because I have X11R3 working just super fine and dandy -- responding to the mouse and all that. My questions, then, are the following: 1) Is there really something lacking that Moniterm ought to have put into their ROMs (or ought to have supplied to be loaded into A/UX)? 2) Is there some reasonably straightforward magic incantation I can speak at A/UX to convince the toolbox that there really is a mouse out there? I'll be happy to share any responses I get with the net (unless I'm the only person on the net who is having this problem :-).
