Same with me... I have a Logitech 2 button mouse on serial port. Mine is Pentium III, 810 chipset. I installed Fedora - 2. With com port am able to get the mouse working.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
