Given the context of your email, I assume there isn’t a suitable COM mouse driver as part of the Linux kernel. I find that surprising, but I admit I don’t have any personal experience with using a COM mouse on Linux. If that is indeed the case, have you considered submitting your COM mouse driver directly to the Linux kernel project? I would assume that would be a more appropriate place for it, and it would then benefit every Linux distribution. https://www.kernel.org/ -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
