Serial Mouse Install

1998-05-19 Thread Doug Thistlethwaite 
Here is another installation question I didn't figure out during the
install.  I have a microsoft compatible serial mouse I would like to use
on my new linux system.  During the inital install, I did not see any
selections for serial mice.  I saw several options for ps/2, bus, and
other types of mice.  What do I need to do to install this mouse?

Thank you,

Doug Thistlethwaite

run XF86Setup. Select microsoft (and the usual other compatibles). If it
doesn't find /dev/mouse, then try /dev/ttyS0
