After ignoring it for a couple of years, I'm trying to plug a mouse
into my 9 pin serial port, but XFree doesn't see it. The boot message
says tty00 at 0x03f8 irq 4 is a 16550A, and set serial says the same
about /dev/ttyS0, but there is no response from moving or clicking.
Anyone know a trick to make this work? I remember having the same
problem on someone's 760. Thanks in advance...
