Re: PS/2 mouse on serial port?
did you get the adapter *with* the mouse? there are many adapters that
are not compadible with brands other then the mouse they come with, and
some can't even be converted at all for some reason or another(only had
that with 1 trackball though).
in short, if the adapter didn't come with the mouse, don't expect it to
work.

I can't seem to find any real serial port mice, so I got a cheapo PS/2 (micro solutions, works as a PS/2 on a PS/2 port with X), and a PS/2 to serial adapter. I've got the mouse/adapter in "com2". /dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/ttyS1. I get no response from the mouse with gpm or X. I've tried the MicroSoft protocols and the PS/2 protocols, gpm -t bare, nearly every combination posible with XF86Setup, nothing seems to work. I attached the output of "cat /proc/tty/driver/serial" hoping that someone will be able to tell me waht's up.
