Yes, HAL is dropped in Lucid so the fdi file technique is not relevant
anymore. Instead, we have incorporated an xorg.conf.d snippets system,
whereby you will configure things like this by dropping a file with the
serial mouse snippet (like the ones in comments #12 or #49) into your
Just to add, there are those of us who use special pointing devices
(myself included), such as for the handicapped or special medical needs
or in specific locations such as a shop floor where a mouse would not
work because of environmental issues (dirt, space, etc.). Some of these

I agree completely and I don't use Ubuntu and/or Linux anymore. I return
back Mac OS.

I'm really disappointed that I even needed to look for this bug report
tonight. I'm trying to install xubuntu on an older system with very
limited resources and have not been successful with getting the serial
mouse to work with any of the how to's I've seen yet. (Currently
trying with 9.4).

FYI, Red Hat has a mouse config utility that handles serial mice:

guide/s1-mouseconfig.html
Also, Mandriva handles a serial mouse, but appears to also be having
issues now which would indicate it's an xorg problem in general:
Thank you for the link

I use a MEDL trackball which uses the old mousesystems protocol.
HAL detection will not work as there is nothing to detect. I followed the
advice of the above post with no success, and another which reproduced the
entire relevant mouse section from my old xorg.conf. To no avail, the

I solved problem changing HAL configuration. I modified the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi in Ubuntu 9.10
changing the mouse configuration section with these lines:
match key=info.capabilities contains=input.mouse
merge key=input.device
Xubuntu 9.04 Live CD, and even after installation.
Mouse on Com port - does not autodetected. Event after changing
configuration according to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto - no effect. Still
nonfunctional. USB and PS/2 mouses work fine.
My hardware:
Mouse: A4tech SWW-25
Even going back and carefully booting 9.04 with the secret
mouse/device=/dev/ttyS0 boot parameters did no good. Trying to
navigate 9.04 desktop using kbd with no mouse was cute for a couple
minutes, got frustrating fast -- did not find any way to activate serial
mouse.
