Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-486
Version: 2.6.15-8
Severity: normal
Using the mousedev module doesn't work with sermouse, for my mouse (the
mouse is not detected, as evidenced by udev not create a new
/dev/input/mouse0 when modprobe sermouse is performed, and X loading,
but with a frozen mouse pointer (because /dev/input/mice always exists
when mousedev is in use, but there really isn't a detected mouse).
My mouse is an old Logitech (which uses the Microsoft protocol, when
using /dev/ttyS0 for X) PS/2 mouse with a PS/2 mouse to serial computer
adapter (which works, since specifying /dev/ttyS0 and Microsoft mode
results in a working mouse for X).
This is probably an upstream issue, as I found one reference while
Googling. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be any followups, only an
indication that it didn't work. The URL of that message is:
