Well, I very much appreciate your help, but I've managed to make the

For ages i tried xf86config, and never figured it out, then i found
XF86Setup, which seems to be..rather poorly documented as its so rare to
see someone using it. it should autodetect it if its a MS serial mouse

Very simple. Get the COM port where the mouse is from Windows. Then just
follow a simple formula : Com1=/dev/ttyS0, Com2=/dev/ttyS1 and so on. That

give sample code as to what your trying to execute on those .shtml

and it works fine.
you may also have to add access to type "Includes" to access.conf.

do you have the override option set in your NS preferences? I'm not sure
about 4.5 but 4.7 has this option:

xdm is now in its own package, and it defaults to run on boot. To stop
