> I was given an old Pentium 75. It has two serial ports on the back, one labeled "mouse" and one labeled "com2". No PS/2 ports. 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. What happens if you # cat /dev/ttyS1 and let the mouse go all over the place (with assorted manic mouse presses)? If you have tried that many protocol combinations, you might have a dodgy PS/2 to serial adapter (I encountered a couple). Or you may want to run gpm in debug mode, just to check that the "signal is coming though". > serinfo:1.0 driver:4.27 > 0: uart:16550A port:3F8 irq:4 baud:9600 tx:93 rx:0 RTS|DTR > 1: uart:16550A port:2F8 irq:3 baud:1200 tx:15 rx:0 > 2: uart:unknown port:3E8 irq:4 > 3: uart:16550A port:2E8 irq:3 baud:57600 tx:127765 rx:2219924 RTS|CTS|DTR|DSR|CD You said two serial ports, but this one lists 4? Do you have a modem in there as well? -- Karl E. Jørgensen karl@jorgensen.com www.karl.jorgensen.com ==== Today's fortune: Two is not equal to three, even for large values of two.
