CentOS 5 :: Detecting And Mounting Serial Mouse/trackball?
May 7, 2009
I am attempting to use a serial trackball in CentOS 5.3 and have run out of ideas. The mouse is connected to COM2 (/dev/ttyS1). I have tried to configure it through xorg.conf using every protocol I could find including "auto" and tried the same again using "inputattach". The mouse communicates at 1200 baud, so I've tried using stty to set the port to that baud rate and still no luck. Is there a test tool that can be used to see if the serial connection is functioning? If not, are there any other ideas?

the Squeeze uprgade I also lost the middle mouse functionaly of my Logitech Marble Mouse. I do not remember how I set it up to be honest. I am not sure if it was by default middle was mouse was "pressing 2 buttons on eachside at the same time" or I did set up manually using Xmod or similar tool. I might have even set up in the hal settings. The reason I do not remember exactly is that I used multiple tuts and places to set this up long time ago and now that the functionality is gone I am kind of confused about how to go ahead about it.

On my CentOS 5.2 install I've installed a dual-port serial card based on the NetMOS 9835 chipset. I've followed the serial instructions, but everything they tell me to do is already done - see setserial outputs below. I've compared these values to the lspci output (below, NetMos card is at the bottom of the output) for the card and it appears right. Problem being, I can't use the serial ports. Oh and I did use search, and looked at every 9835-related article before posting this :)

I am working on linux kernel building and customising for our requirement.All these days we were using 2.6.9EL5 kernel to create our own Bootable kernel. Lately we moved to 2.6.33.3 as SATA CDROM support was not available during booting with the earlier kernel.Now with the new kernel i have got all the updates i wanted with respect to hardware detection during booting but having an issue with my PS2 mouse not auto detecting while booting. However i can configure the mouse with the popup that comes during booting by selecting the generic PS2 3 button mouse option. With this my mouse works properly. I am wondering is there a way to make the mouse auto detectable.I have attached one of the Xconfig file that is part of our process.

I'm having ongoing problems with my Ubuntu installation(s) almost to the point that each addition causes new problems. The latest, continual problem is periodically the computer is being used and abruptly hangs with a blank screen. Though I believe the error is associated with my having an undefined ServerName for LAMP development server. I've decided to do a fresh install with all the options included and see what happens. I need some assistance in developing an install CD/DVD which has all the packages (and configurations) that I need. I want to be able to use a serial mouse (the computer is an older one and I only have a serial mouse to use).

I want to get a serial mouse (PS/2 with adapter) to work on a Dell C400 (so I can use the one USB port for wireless). I enabled the serial port in the BIOS, but the mouse didn't work.

I tried my COM mouse KM-203S on Windows, it works out of the box. Now i want to make it work on linux. But the problem is that mdetect doesn't recognize it, and whatever protocol i select in inputattach, the cursor jumps unpredictably when i move the mouse. How can i get the parameters for this mouse - maybe baudrate, etc.? Or maybe i'm doing something totally wrong?Here's mdetect output (i moved the mouse while mdetect was working) on 300 8N1 mode (set by minicom):
Code:
Found the following devices:
/dev/ttyS1

after installing the OS my mouse was not working. After searching in net for a day, I made it working. Shall give the details hereIf its a repeat thread please ignore it.1. Go to Terminal.2. Login as root.3. su -c 'yum install -y system-config-display'This step will take some 2 to 5 mins 4. su -c 'system-config-display --reconfig'After Fedora 9/10, the xorg.conf is not available and it uses HAL to detect the hardwares. The above steps create the config file.
5. su -c 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak'
back up
6. su - -c 'gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf'

I discovered that I can activate my Kensington trackball by typing in a terminal:
sudo inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0 After that I tried to automate that using Yast to place in /etc/sysconfig/inputattach: INPUTATTACH_DRIVERS="/dev/ttyS0:microsoft" It did not work. What am I doing wrong?

When I try to Sync a Palm Vx to my PC through serial port I get a communication error message in the gadget. My PalmOS Devices application is already configured to use tty0 or tty1 in unsuccessfully trials. I have a lot of information in the addresses, agenda, notes, etc. and do not want to loose that information gathered for years, nor to return to Windows.
As a test, I used a serial mouse in the serial port and It didn't work. I verified the Bios Setup and COM 1 and COM 2 are enabled.
I also checked my system serial support with the following commands:
And messages were OK when compared with typical outputs. My machine is a Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz, in a U8668 motherboard (Award Software International). I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome.
I am new in Linux and don't know Bash yet. I had followed indications from Internet tutorials successfully, but I don't know how to proceed in this case.

I have a very old Pentium 3 that don`t have USB or PS2 suport.
I need to configure a serial mouse.
I did it on debian etch editing xorg.conf. I chage the mouse protocol to "Microsoft" and it works normaly.
But on squeeze it does not exist!
How can I configure it?

I'm installing OpenSuse 11.2 on some systems. Unfortunately the only mouse available is a serial mouse. Hence the installer doesn't recognize the mouse.And it is somewhat cumbersome using the TAB and ARROW keys to navigate the graphical installation.Does anyone know of a boot option I could use to get OpenSuse's installer to recognize a serial mouse ?

I've got brand new Dell Optiplex 380 (Intel E8400 chipset) that I wanted to use to test new KVM virtual environment, after installing Centos 5.5 - (64bit) I'm not getting any further than "egrep '(vmx|svm)'color= always /proc/cpuinfo" as it is not showing that CPU is capable of VMX. Now this URL... says that it is perfectly up to what I want from it. I specifically installed W2k3 server R2 on the same box previously to run these apps, just to be sure URL...everything was nice and green and according Windows and those apps perfectly VMX-capable, but still CentOS isn't recognizing VMX capabilities.BIOS settings are all enabled...

I have postfix setup with amavisd and I tried to send myself an email with the eicar file however it lets the email go through to my inbox. When I restart the amavisd service, there are no errors in the log and it finds all the decoders for different file types and I also see this come up:
Feb 8 14:45:44 Mailgate amavis[3116]: Using primary internal av scanner code for ClamAV-clamd
Feb 8 14:45:44 Mailgate amavis[3116]: Found secondary av scanner ClamAV-clamscan at /usr/bin/clamscan
Everything seems to work but it doesn't scan the file for viruses. Also, I've double and triple checked and my amavisd.conf file doesn't have the option enabled to bypass virus scanning.

Im a very basic Linux/ Centos user. I have Putty installed and a USB to serial adapter. All settings seem to be right as far as speed, etc, but I'm not sure how to list the device to open for the program. The default location it gives is "/dev/ttyS0" Trying to find where the USB is located using the "/sbin/lsusb" command gives me-
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0557:2008 ATEN International Co., Ltd UC-232A Serial Port [pl2303]
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
So I think this means that it is on bus 4 correct? So how do I list this for putty to open the device.

I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.
Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....
This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....
I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......
There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.
Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.
