The problem is not that the serial mouse does not work, but that it need to be configured to work.
And when installing Ubuntu we do not get a chance to configure it, unlike what some other distributions (Mandriva, PCLinuxOS etc) do: if they do not detect a PS2 or USB mouse, they go into mouse configuration, asking for port and interrupt, and then on to a mouse-testing page where you can move cursor, click right and left, before going back to the mouse config or exit once you have it working. -- Serial mouse/mice not autodetected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
