I have the same problem as you, but was too lazy to look any further yet. On the other hand I don't think other keymaps are more suitable, and the easiest way would be to get it fixed with your xmodmap approach and in the long term with a fixed pre-installed keymap from the XFree86 packages. > Also, I'm using a MS-compatible serial-mouse.

No idea since I don't have such a adapter box myself. Maybe you should just try and let us know since you are not the first one asking. > Lastly, is anyone working on HIL mouse support? If not, then I > wouldn't mind having a go. Currently no one is working on such a driver, but instead there is a generic HIL-driver in progress. If this driver is finished a generic HIL-mouse-driver-plugin should be easy. In any case, just go ahead if you want. > Thanks to everyone for making this port such a success! Thanks Greetings, Helge
