Hmm, I don't know. I guess I would do it like Windows95 and just use "Standard Serial Mouse" protocol. That should make most people happy ( like 99 % .. like the ones that complain a lot :P ). People do not exspect Ubuntu to work with every obscure hardware ( well some probably do ) but it should work with hardware that Windows works with out of the box ( which isn't that much .. actually it is very little ). If that is a no go for you how about low tech solution .. have a configure dialog pop up and ask people what kind of mouse they have. Or maybe a high tech solution ( not sure this is possible .. I am brainstroming :) ) .. analyse the signals you receive from the serial ports and guess the protocol.
Marking this as wontfix is not the right solution though IMHO. -- Serial mice are not autodetected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
