* Other distros detect serial mice
* It's OK to ask the user for input
* Has anyone looked at Please move your mouse while read-only probing serial
ports?
* If there is hardware that gets permanently damaged from probing, it's the
responsibility of maintainers for the drivers for that hardware
I had this problem with Breezy (5.10) and it's still not fixed with Dapper RC
(6.06).
How is a novice user supposed to know what to do when their serial mouse
doesn't work? Even if there is no working autodetect, at the very least there
should be some way to manually configure a serial mouse
