Eeerr, this might be a little Off-topic... Following the
instructions given in various places to get a serial mouse
working (associating /hurd/mouse -d com0 -p microsoft to
/dev/mouse and using the protocol 'osmouse' in /etc/X11/XF86Config)
in XFree86 3.3.6 (installed from CD images F2) makes the mouse
work. Well, not really: mouse movement is absolutely jerky, i.e.
it keeps jumping from one side to the other, it doesn't move to
the right... I cat'ed /dev/mouse and noticed that data is not
read smoothly, I need to move the mouse a little to get data.
The mouse works perfectly with Linux, as a M$ mouse. Maybe
there's something lacking in the docs?
