From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) Description of problem: I have 2-button Microsoft Serial mouse that never gets automatically detected during RedHat install . I have to manually configure it as "Microsoft Compatible (Serial)" to make it work. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mouseconfig tool Actual Results: mouse not detected automatically Expected Results: to be able to see the mouse at COM port 1:(/dev/ttyS0) Additional info: I have used all RedHat releases from RedHat 5.2-RedHat 7.1. Problem exists in all versions. Interestingly Mandrake 7.x can detect my mouse automatically during install.
Very very odd, as the Mandrake serial probe: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gi/tools/serial_probe/ is almost exactly the same code as what we use in kudzu for serial mouse detection. Are you sure it's not just the default in Mandrake? Moving comp to kudzu, that's where the detection is.
Closing out bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack of response. Please attempt to confirm with more recent releases.
