Description Tim Waugh 2000-02-07 23:36:52 UTC 
My serial mouse (a Genius Netmouse Pro) is not detected.  It was with 6.1.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-02-07 23:53:59 UTC 
Stupid question: are you doing a serial install?
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2000-02-08 09:11:59 UTC 
No.  I tried local CD-ROM and NFS.  Of the two serial ports, only one is
occupied, and that's by the mouse.

With exactly the same hardware setup I tried a 6.1 boot disk, and that used the
mouse without trouble.
Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2000-03-07 18:03:59 UTC 
Do you have this genious mouse configures as mousesytems?
MouseSystems mouses can't be detected, so you need to set it to microsoft mode,
you can then choose a MouseSystems mouse in the installer and change the switch
after this.Never mind I didn't see the part about the 6.1 installer using it without
trouble, sorry

This should be fixed; there was a problem with serial
detection in the inital beta that has since been
fixed.
