Talking get your old microsoft serial mouse working on COM1 with 9.10
to get your old microsoft serial mouse working on COM1 with 9.10 you need to install the gpm package.so in a terminal enter
sudo apt-get install gpm
then ,after it is installed, you enter in terminal
sudo inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0
now move your mouse around to see that your serial mouse is working ok.
OK?
now you need to set you computer to run it on startup.
so in a terminal enter
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
an editer window opens with
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
exit 0
now enter
inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0
so that the /etc/rc.local file contains
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
## added serial mouse input ##
inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0
exit 0
now save this file and close editer.
now ,when you re-boot, your serial mouse will work.
Соответственно, вместо sudo перед вводом команды надо стать рутом (su-)
вместо gedit подойдет и mcedit
Но работает ли это в 7ке и куда что прописывать в этом системд (rc.local еще существует и работает?) - без понятия
