From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Description of problem: During CD install boot, the serial mouse was correctly detected. There is a PS/2 keyboard attached, but the PS/2 mouse port is unused. When the graphical installer runs it tries to use the PS/2 mouse. Moving the serial mouse won't move the on-screen pointer. If I then plug in a PS/2 mouse, I can use it to move the pointer around. After installation, I can use the serial mouse just fine. It's only during the install that the serial mouse -- though detected during boot -- is ignored. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot/Install from CD with serial mouse attached, empty PS/2 mouse port 2. Select graphical install at prompt. 3. Actual Results: Mouse pointer rooted firmly in center of screen when moving the serial mouse around. Had to plug in a ps/2 mouse to get the pointer to move. Expected Results: The pointer should have moved about with the detected serial mouse without having to attach a ps/2 mouse. Additional info:
Serial mice aren't supported during install.
