Can the recent Xorg detect a serial mouse?

(1/6) > >>

t18:
That's the last piece for my Pentium 166 mosaic.

I've put the following snippet in xorg.conf.d but unsuccessfully:


--- Code: ---Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Mouse0"
MatchIsPointer "On"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/ttyS0"
MatchDriver "mouse"
Option "EmulateWheel" "On"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
--- End code ---

Trying to use xorg.conf in the traditional way instead, the following snippet disables the keyboard as well:


--- Code: ---Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
--- End code ---

Anything I can do?

Juanito:
You could try starting the gui without any xorg conf or snippets and then examine the xorg log to see what is detected and if any errors are found.

t18:
The attached one is the Xorg.0.log without any config file.

It seems there is no track of pointers.

Juanito:
I'm not sure if libinput and/or xf86-input-libinput can handle a serial mouse?

You might need to go back to xf86-input-evdev, but I would check the libinput documentation first.

t18:
It seems not to be any track of serial devices on the Libinput documentation.

I've found somewhere references to evdev + input-attach or xf86-input-mouse (not xf86-input-VMmouse, I guess). Are there packages available on TCL?
