my InputDevice Section looks like this, Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" also when you compile the kernel, make sure Devic Driver -> Input device support -> Serial mouse is enabled, or at least a module. and Device Driver -> Character devices -> Serial Drivers -> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support was enable and it worked for me. find out if it has already been enabled by your current kernel in your /boot/config hth =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - stderr(Mindanao) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
