Hi, I'm trying to get a serial mouse to work but haven't had any sucess.
It is conected to /dev/ttyS0
but when I do:
cat /dev/ttyS0
it doesn't responds to my mouse actions
I'm sure it is /dev/
Thank you for your replies
I'll first try to get an USB hub, and if that is a problem, I'll try the
solutions posted on the serial mouse!
Are there things I coould/should check for a USB hub? Do I need special
modules and/or drivers?
Thanks for all the answers I got so far,
Joris

Hello Jason.
Try /dev/ttyS0.

If form console you do cat /dev/mouse and move the mouse what happens? If you
do not get random noise that is not your mouse device. Also in your XF86Config
file what does it have for the protocol? Also do you have GPM running and what
branch of Debian are you using?

I think it could use some clarification that one has suggested
installing gpm and someone else has stated that "gpm can cause
problems". I hope I can make things clearer without just adding to the
noise...

Those are not "device options", they're symbolic devices managed by
the kernel and that correspond to some physical periphe
There is no need for /dev/mouse to exist. Are you shure you are
connected to a serial port? Another common location is the PS2
mouse port -- usually located next to the microphone connector.
IF on hte PS2 port it would be /dev/psaux.

Post your /etc/gpm.conf file and the Pointer section of
/etc/X11/XF86Config. Then perhaps someone can help identify
your problem.

1) First make sure your are describing the mouse port as:

For an MS Mouse, a typical setup in /etc/X11/XF86Config would be:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol"Microsoft"
Device "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
Of course, /dev/mouse is simply a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 (for COM1;
