Hi i'm new to this list and i just want to know a couple of things to be sure to configure my computer correclty. First, i have a serial mouse type Com-2 or serial. I just want to know which selection im supposed to choose in the xfree86 configuration generated by debconf ? Install 'gpm' and try running 'gpm-mouse-test', which can work out many of these things for you. Once you've got it working in gpm, then try using the gpm mouse event relay feature, and point X at the relay pipe. See the gpm man page for info.

I just want to know which selection im supposed to choose in the xfree86 configuration generated by debconf ? thanks If the mouse is on COM2 (windows), the mouse device should be /dev/ttyS1, and I'm guessing that driver to be used should be the Microsoft driver like so: Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device/dev/ttyS0 Option Protocol Microsoft EndSection I may be wrong about the driver, since I havent used a serial mouse in a long time. You could give it a whirl report back if it doesnt work. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're not using gpm, /dev/ttyS1 You may have to experiment with the protocol (probably start with serial); you can change the settings later with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Then you can play with your X settings with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, followed by a restart of KDM with /etc/init.d/kdm restart (which will automatically take you back to VT7 where KDM runs usually, so you'll have to Ctrl-Alt-F2 back to VT2 if you need to). -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
