Recently I said good-bye to the not-so-often-used version of Ubuntu 5.10 and replaced it with the most recent version 7.10 (again only one CD-ROM, which was the main reason to install it).

Install went painless except for one thing -the mouse.

I use an old serial MouseMan from Logitech, which is not even detected by the 7.10 version.

Surfing the net was not a big deal except, that all recipies found there where incomplete.

Here's what you should do to get your Serial MouseMan working correctly:

<pre>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
EndSection
</pre>

Depending on your connector, it could also be <tt>"/dev/ttyS1"</tt> (the second serial port).

The protocoll should be <tt>"Microsoft"</tt>. On my machine, leaving this on <tt>"Auto"</tt> did not work. because it led to very long delays (30 sec or so) after X-Server restart until the mouse decided, that it was really there and would move.
