Hi, the current Debconf messages contain:
"Serial mice: 9-pin or 25-pin serial connector\n"
" msc The MouseSystems protocol. Most 3-button serial mice.\n"
I really doubt that this ("most") is right! I had once such a mouse but
nevertheless I'm sure that the Microsoft or ps2 protocol dominates and
not msc.
I remember that once I tried to install a stupid windows system for a
friend with this mouse I failed to find a driver on this system (and was
forced to repeadingly reboot to test a new driver). This indicates that
this MouseSystems protocol is not so common ...
Another minor issue:
" ms+ Like 'ms', but allows dragging with the middle button\n"
Is dragging the right word? I don't understand this properly (drag from
drag&drop?). Could it be replaced by "pasting" or "copying"?

Serial mice are getting rarer in the world, so it may be that we'll
never know the right answer for the best protocol to recommend as the
first one to try.

Yeah, closing....
