Stanic" Cc: linux-admin Hi, The mouse I have is a M/S Ballpoint. It does support both serial and PS/2 modes. The problem is I cannot just put an adapter cable on the other end past the Belken KVM. It does not work. The KVM buffers all lines and maintains serial states. It does not put the connection directly through. Since that doesn't work, I'd like to be able to change the PS/2 driver to Serial on the fly. I would do this without having X11 running, just the base system. I tried changing the mouse symbolic link, but since the serial has not been initialized to the mouse, that does not seem to work either. (hrumpf). - Andrew On 20 Feb 2003 at 20:27, Milan P.
