    Serial mouse?

    Hi, i was doing my own terminatorX turntable with a mouse. I found an old mouse, but is a serial mouse, that connects trough the serial port.
    I connected to the PC but ubuntu did not reconized. Is a way to make it function, with a driver or something?

    Re: Serial mouse?

    I edited the /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
    and i added this:

    Code:
    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier      "Serial Mouse"
            Driver          "mouse"
            Option          "CorePointer"
            Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
            Option "Protocol" "auto"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    I restarted Xorg but still nothing
    Can anybody help???

    Re: Serial mouse?

    I connected and reconnected the serial mouse.
    I ran "dmesg" and i get this:
    [ 30.985855] input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7
    Any idea?
    I will appreciate that somebody answer.
