Actually I am the other guy (I think -- there are two threads on this right now.) But
anyway I tried this a few days ago when you recommended it. Only it used psaux instead
of ttyS0, which is the slot my eth0 is in.
My serial mouse connection actually doesn't plug into a slot. It has a ribbon connector
that goes into the motherboard (just above the first PCIs). It connects into a 10 pin
male connector. Looks like the same pins that are used on jumpers.

And that is what is driving me nuts here. It is working on the HP with the same
settings except for the XF86Config settings: Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout. But I
can't change these settings because I'm in read-only because of my maintenance problem.
So I'll have to wait til I get the mingetty fixed before I attempt this mouse thing
again.
How do I get myself into these binds??
Thanks,
John
