A solution such as what other distros use, as suggested by Ron above,
would be more than sufficient.

* 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

Hmm, I don't know.
I guess I would do it like Windows95 and just use Standard Serial Mouse
protocol. That should make most people happy ( like 99 % .. like the ones that
