Hi, sorry for late response.  I am terribly tied to my work these days.

I have looked at your patch and X10's web site.  I know Amacio has
already committed the change to the source tree.  But, I would like to
know if we can make `moused' to detect the device automatically.

I understand the receiver of this device can be attached to either a
seial port or the PS/2 mouse port.

Do you know if the device supports PnP COM device standard?  What if
you start `moused' like the following when you connect it to a serial
port? What does it print?

	moused -d -i all -p /dev/cuaa0

Have you ever tried to connect the receiver to the PS/2 mouse port?
If so, would you show us the output from `dmesg' after booting the
system with the `-v' option at the `boot:' prompt?
