Well as I see it's quite an old bug, so I just want to say that today I wanted to try out my brand new, cool looking (sent from Canonical) Ubuntu 6.06 LTS CD ... I put it in, boot the system - I see the desktop and that's it - since my old Logitech serial mouse is NOT working, I'm not able to use the system. Ok. I'm quite advanced Linux user - I know that I can edit xorg.conf, or use some other console tools to configure the mouse. It's not so difficult - and I did it many times in old Slackwares;) But hey ... my Windows XP made no problems with that mouse - it just worked.
I think such small elements make the big picture of the whole system. Why "Joe User" doesn't like Linux? Mayby becouse he still (after so many years of development) needs to grab the console and cast some magic spells to make his mouse just work. Anyway Ubunut is a greate distro ... ;) and I use it on couple of machines. -- Serial mice are not autodetected https://launchpad.net/bugs/9068 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
