Re: Device name for serial mouse?



Ooops!

I didn't answer the question you asked.  Sorry!

COM1: = /dev/ttyS0
COM2: = /dev/ttyS1
                ^
                ^---> Note capital 'S' used here!!!!


as for the device type for gpm I don't know which mouse
you are using, "(actually one of those combo serial/PS-2 things0 "
so I can't suggest a "type" selection in gpmconfig for you.

Good luck on getting this working before Monday.
