One of the two methods in the inputattach README file worked, namely adding this to /etc/rc.local: inputattach --daemon -mman /dev/ttyS0 The alternate approach mentioned in the README file, adding this to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules: ACTION="add", KERNEL=="ttyS0", RUN+="inputattach --daemon -mman %p" didn't work, but I only need one solution.

I'm only educated-guessing here, but I think the best strategy would be to get the kernel input system to see the mouse, and then X will automagically see it, too.

want to use old serial mouse
I have a good new installation of testing (Wheezy). I would like to use my old three-button roll-ball serial mouse (Logitech M-MD15L) but have so far failed. The PC is new with an Intel i5 motherboard and a serial port. With Lenny, it was sufficient to have this section in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/ttyS0" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection That hasn't worked. I also tried replacing "/dev/ttyS0" with "/dev/input/mice". I have tried the same two versions of xorg.conf with the mouse on a serial-to-USB adapter instead of the direct serial port. None of these four configurations supported the serial mouse. I'm testing while running the fvwm window manager. I have xserver-xorg-input-mouse installed. In all four cases, Xorg.0.log looked about the same. These were the only lines with "mouse" in them: (**) |-->Input Device "Configured Mouse" (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or \ 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Configured Mouse (==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled I can post the whole file if necessary. Connecting a modern USB mouse works and creates /dev/mouse0. I think the old mouse, even via the USB adapter, is not detected by udev. At least I don't see anything new under /dev after I plug it in. Is there any way to get the old mouse working with Wheezy?
