I've had the same problem. I have a serial mouse and a Trident 3dImage 9750 AGP card. The mouse is a Genius Netmouse Serial (I tried using ALL of the settings.) When I first started, the mouse would either A) Not be detected at all (preventing X from running) or B) The cursor would sit in the middle of the screen no matter how I moved the mouse when I added the -R to the gpm call (as suggested in mouseconfig) gpm -R -m /dev/mouse -t bare It jumps all over the screen. I have tried all the possible settings. Can you give me some pointers as to the DEVICE section you spoke of? I would really appreciate it.
