What distro are you running? Which mouse is involved? After installation you can (at least in RedHat) switch mouse settings running /usr/sbin/mouseconfig. You can select your mouse, or choose a generic one. Now it's got probably the wrong protocol or the wrong port (ttyS0/ttyS1).

At least in RedHat 6.2, which uses mouseconfig 4.4 (u could also use this in Mandrake as RedHat and Mandrake are family :-)), you can choose &quot;Genius Netmouse Serial&quot; as an option! In general regarding serial mice in linux there are three things to check out: is the right com-port selected (ttyS0/ttyS1), is the right protocol selected (if you can't find your mouse, try a generic one, microsoft or logitech), is the right baudrate (mostly 9600 baud) on. Let us know how things are going!<br />

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
