OK, I will try to get something out this weekend.

It had to do with having RCFILE_01 = serials in lts.conf, and creating this file: /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.d/serials === START #!/bin/bash /bin/mknod /dev/ttyS0 c 4 64 /sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 === END Could be that you need to have mknod and setserial copied from your server /bin directory into the /opt/ltsp/i386 directory. Well, this did the trick for us. Did you correctly specify "X_MOUSE_DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0" (or so) and does the X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL entry match your hardware? > I am replying on the list as I think there would be some more people who > may be interested in this sort of hardware to be run. OK! I just didn't want to spam a linux-list with dos-software-questions. Mark (the Original Poster) seems to be working on his problem - could be that he likes to contribute his experience as well, but that would be it - not to much spam I hope. > TIA Best regards, Anselm Martin Hoffmeister Stockholm Projekt Computer-Service <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
