I have a standard 2 button ps\2 mouse which im trying to get to work from a serial port using a ps\2-serial adapter. my bios has com1 and com2 at the usual places, and my kernel has sio0 and sio1 set accordingly. using the mouse configuration tool under /stand/sysinstall i cant get my mouse to move under any of the permutations. mouseman, sysmouse, microsoft, none of them at any port will enable the mouse. i suspect it has something to do with the ps/2-serial adapter... anyone experience this? do i have to go in search of a "real" serial mouse? why cant the adapter work like in Winblows? replys to my home e-mail are apreciated.
