Hello Debian_User, How do you configure a PS/2 mouse through a KVM Switch connected to a PS/2 to serial port adaptor to the serial port on a PC with Xfree?
Interesting point is old serial port mouse works fine in GUI (i.e. Xfree) but the new PS/2 mouse through the KVM switch does not work. Why would I get the same error message after leaving Xfree with either mouse connected, yet the old serial mouse works in GUI and the PS/2 mouse connected through the KVM switch does not? ,----- [ 1st error message ] | (EE) xf86 OpenSerial: Cannont open device /dev/input/mice | No such device `----- ,----- [ should be GPM configuration IIRC ] | Current Configuration: -m/dev/psaux -t autops2 -Rms3 | Device: /dev/psaux | type: autops2 | Repeat_Type: ms3 `----- Is this because I have gpm working and have Xfree configured incorrectly? If yes, how do I get the same settings in Xfree that I have in gpm? If no, then why would old serial mouse work in Xfree and not new PS2 mouse connected through KVM switch? I'm new to Linux and Debian. I've had problems from the get go with getting old graphics card working. I've gotten over that hurdle doing the research to get the chip set, now the mouse, then after that I'll have to figure out how to print to old HP Laser Jet 6P with a print server. Lot of stuff to read, and find myself reading material which isn't necessarily solving the problem. If you could point me in the right direction it would be of great help.
