Comment 71 for bug 9068

Confirmed for Ubuntu 9.04. "inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS1" (for serial port 2) gives me "can't set line discipline". Editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually did not help me either, tho I'm not confident that I did it right. But I got a usb mouse and that works, so no isue for me now. But ...

Puppy had no problem with the serial mouse. It said, "I think you have a serial mouse. Do you?". If you reply, "Yes", it says, "I think it is on ttyS0. Is it?". You can reply "yes," or "no" and tell it where it is.
