Did you do the test above ? As long the serial port isn't opened by anything, you can let X11 and openbox be running. If so, press Ctl-Alt-F2 buttons simultaineusly to get to a console. There log in as root and then try one of gpm -b 1200 -m /dev/ttyUSB0 -t msc gpm -b 1200 -m /dev/ttyUSB0 -t sun gpm -b 1200 -m /dev/ttyUSB0 -t mman and move the mouse to test. > A previous post mentioned xorg.conf which doesn't appear to exist in > Devuan Beowulf (AMD64). > So, where do I go from here? You can either A, do a xorg configuration with the mouse driver man xorg.conf is your friend. B, try inputattach to make the mouse appear as a /dev/input/* device and be automatically included by X11, I haven't tested this.
