USB mouse on Solaris9 , any info?
« on: April 09, 2009, 11:18:37 AM »
Yeah, I know this is strange, but a friend donated me an Ultra5 sparc workstation, but I have no sun mouse, nor actually want to get one as they are a crap $30+ buy  
So I did install a USB2 card based on ALi chipset, and on Solaris10 I get USB-mouse support all the time  but unfortunatelly my 400mhz ultra5 is somewhat slow for solaris10... tried to install 9 from scratch, but there is a complain in boot that "multiple mice are not supported" and I get no mouse during installation... tried to continue but I could not...
Long shot, but anyone knows a workaround? I tried looking on Sun's support pages, but to me they seem a complete mess! :lol:

thanks!!!  :-D

I have seen it too, but don't want to believe it , at least for 9! in 10 usb-mouse works EVERYWHERE from start....
I would not mind getting a normal Sun mouse but they are ANCIENT bus-mice and no optical ofcourse... they just suck
