As I said in an earlier post there is an article on using a (different)
Sun mouse on Linux. The protocol used was msc. From looking at the
output with an oscilloscope that protocol does appear close if not
correct.

From the scope trace you can infer the baud rate.
The baud rate is 1 / smallest_pulse_width.
Have you tried:
mouse-test [ device ]

That program is actually gpm-mouse-test.

Should be the same program, differnt packaging. Does most development on
gentoo, run devuan on production boxes.
The Sun mouse I would like to use is also a compact-1. Does the
mouse-test program you mention work with your compact-1 mouse and
therefore is actually a different program than the one in the gpm package?
I haven't made any adapter for it, it is on a sparcstation.
...
As I said in an earlier post I used the mouse
(long ago) on Debian Jessie with gpm and it worked with msc protocol.
Soo, what happens when you try with:
gpm -b 1200 -m /dev/ttyS1 -t msc
where ttyS1 should be changed to the serial port used.

Hi,
It shows up at /dev/ttyUSB0. I have tried that command line several
times. Nothing happens. ps -e shows gpm is running. The pointer will
not move and the mouse buttons have no effect.
I have tried using minicom to connect to the mouse and that works in
that the minicom cursor moves toward the right with mouse movement.
So the hardware is functional. I know the baud rate is 1200.
Best regards,
Fred
