dear jim,
this is based on your recommendations for troubleshooting the serial
mouse by logitech that does not work, as below:

toggled one, then the other, for each protocol you recommended below.

here's the error i received on this:
X_MOUSE_PROTOCOL ="Auto"
X_MOUSE_DEVICE ="/dev/ttyS0"
error:
"Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)"
same error even when i tried. /dev/ttyS1

for ttyS0 or ttS1, the error for each of the above is:
"Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)"
however, when i chose 'Serial' as the protocol, this is the error i
received for both cases of ttS0 and ttyS1:
"Config error: /etc/XF86Config:26
Protocol "Serial"
Mouse type not supported by this OS"

checked all three conditions. finally, for a test they connected a
hardisk, installed another OS and verified that it booted normally and
the mouse worked perfectly. so mouse, port, motherboard, broken cable,
bios, etc etc all ruled out. just does not work with ltsp.

nope. clean serial cable that connects to a serial port, of a working
mouse on a working PC.
what next?
