Strange Behavior on COM2

Hi,

I have a problem with a new touch screen controller that I am trying to use on a SCO 3.0 system. THe touch screen controller only wants to talk at 9600baud. I have updated /etc/inittab per the manual and also edited /usr/lib/event/devices to use 9600 baud.

The only way I can get the touchscreen to communicate is to plug a serial mouse into the COM2 port, then replace it with the touchscreen cable. The problem is, every time I reboot, the touch screen quits working. It is almost as if the mouse is forcing the COM port to 9600 baud, but the touch screen controller itself won't do that.

How is SCO configuring the port differently based on whether a mouse is plugged in or the touch screen controller?

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks,

MLXCONTROL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MLXCONTROL(8)

NAME
mlxcontrol -- Mylex DAC-family RAID management utility SYNOPSIS
mlxcontrol <command> [args] mlxcontrol status [-qv] [drive] mlxcontrol rescan controller [controller ...] mlxcontrol detach drive [drive ...] mlxcontrol detach -a mlxcontrol check drive mlxcontrol config controller mlxcontrol help command DESCRIPTION
The mlxcontrol utility provides status monitoring and management functions for devices attached to the mlx(4) driver. Controller names are of the form "mlxN" where N is the unit number of the controller. Drive names are of the form "mlxdN" where N is the unit number of the drive. Do not specify the path to a device node. status Print the status of controllers and system drives. If one or more drives are specified, only print information about these drives, otherwise print information about all controllers and drives in the system. With the -v flag, display much more verbose informa- tion. With the -q flag, do not print any output. This command returns 0 if all drives tested are online, 1 if one or more drives are critical and 2 if one or more are offline. rescan Rescan one or more controllers for non-attached system drives (e.g. drives that have been detached or created subsequent to driver initialisation). If the -a flag is supplied, rescan all controllers in the system. detach Detach one or more system drives. Drives must be unmounted and not opened by any other utility for this command to succeed. If the -a flag is supplied, detach all system drives from the nominated controller. check Initiate a consistency check and repair pass on a redundant system drive (e.g. RAID1 or RAID5). The controller will scan the system drive and repair any inconsistencies. This command returns immediately; use the status command to monitor the progress of the check. rebuild Requires two arguments, controller and physdrive as specified in the output of the status command. All system drives using space on the physical drive physdrive are rebuilt, reconstructing all data on the drive. Note that each controller can only perform one rebuild at a time. This command returns immediately; use the status command to monitor the progress of the rebuild. config Print the current configuration from the nominated controller. This command will be updated to allow addition/deletion of system drives from a configuration in a future release. help Print usage information for command. AUTHORS
The mlxcontrol utility was written by Michael Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS
