I have a good new installation of testing (Wheezy). I would like to use my
old three-button roll-ball serial mouse (Logitech M-MD15L) but have so far
failed. The PC is new with an Intel i5 motherboard and a serial port.
With Lenny, it was sufficient to have this section in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
That hasn't worked. I also tried replacing "/dev/ttyS0" with
"/dev/input/mice". I have tried the same two versions of xorg.conf with the
mouse on a serial-to-USB adapter instead of the direct serial port. None of
these four configurations supported the serial mouse. I'm testing while
running the fvwm window manager. I have xserver-xorg-input-mouse installed.
In all four cases, Xorg.0.log looked about the same. These were the only
lines with "mouse" in them:
(**) |-->Input Device "Configured Mouse"
(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or \
'vmmouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Configured Mouse
(==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled
I can post the whole file if necessary.
Connecting a modern USB mouse works and creates /dev/mouse0. I think the old
mouse, even via the USB adapter, is not detected by udev. At least I don't
see anything new under /dev after I plug it in.
Is there any way to get the old mouse working with Wheezy? Thanks.
