My serial mouse does not work in Xubuntu 9.04. I made the following changes to the xorg.conf file but the mouse still does not work even after rebooting:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
These changes did work on for me in unbuntu 8.04, but since version 8.10, they have not. It looks to me like the xorg.conf file is not used any more, since it was more or less empty when I first opened it.
The mouse has worked for many years in Windows XP, so the mouse is not the problem.
If any of you know how to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
