Re: Mouse support Q

["Andrew B. Cramer" <andrew.cramer@cramer-ts.com>]

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).
