[Bug 9068] Re: Serial mouse/mice not autodetected

2010-03-30 Thread Ruly
Just to add, there are those of us who use special pointing devices
(myself included), such as for the handicapped or special medical needs
or in specific locations such as a shop floor where a mouse would not
work because of environmental issues (dirt, space, etc.).  Some of these
pointing devices (trackballs, joystick like devices etc.) are old and
hard to replace and of course many emulate a serial mouse.  For some
this isn't just a convenience issue, it is an accessiblity issue.

[Bug 9068] Re: Serial mouse/mice not autodetected

FYI, Red Hat has a mouse config utility that handles serial mice:

guide/s1-mouseconfig.html

Also, Mandriva handles a serial mouse, but appears to also be having
issues now which would indicate it's an xorg problem in general:
