That's the distros subtle way of saying "Rich, buy new hardware." They knew you still had serial mice sitting around and wanted you to see how nice optical usb mice were. :)

I've been trying a bunch of live as well as a full install of Fedora Core 5, and apparently there's no default serial mouse configuration!

What's up with that? Ubuntu, CentOSLive, even Knoppix doesn't find the serial mouse on this box. Got FC5 to work by manually finding, downloading and installing system-config-mouse and running it. That apparently set it for X as well.

Anyone have any idea why this isn't still in default configs? (Strange box, only one ps/2 port.)

Oh, Knoppix v3.3 found the mouse fine, but 3.9 didn't. Weird. How do I configure a mouse without a mouse in X, for example... :)

Thanks,

Rich
