Autodetection fails to find serial mouse |
Serial mice are not autodetected |

description |
I installed the warty release candidate today and was disappointed to find that
on my new PC the autodetection of hardware still failed to find my old reliable
serial mouse.
mdetect sees it if you're reminded to wiggle the mouse around during detection;
but then it just spits out the psaux stanza only anyway which is a bit sucky.
It'd be nice to see serial mice supported; but I guess it's kinda low-priority
since very few people have them any more |
When the X server is automatically configured, users with serial mice must perform additional manual configuration, specifically:
1. [only for releases prior to 6.06/Dapper] Install the 'joystick' package (don't ask)
2. Run 'inputattach --help' and find the appropriate protocol option to match your mouse
3. Run 'inputattach <protocol option> /dev/ttyS0'. This command must be run at system startup in order for this configuration to be permanent; in Dapper, it may be added to /etc/rc.local |

* Other distros detect serial mice
* It's OK to ask the user for input
* Has anyone looked at "Please move your mouse" while read-only probing serial ports?
* If there is hardware that gets permanently damaged from probing, it's the responsibility of maintainers for the drivers for that hardware and/or the manufacturers and/or owners to provide information about how to avoid the problem. |
that wouldn't work in ubuntu, since the main installer is ubiquity, which runs on top of X. Maybe this bug belongs to casper then..
ps. I'm amazed that people still miss serial mice.. surely those can't be bought as new anymore? |

well, refiling against casper then. I don't think this is something we can solve in xorg. |
