I have just installed debian with, 2.4.27-3-386 as the original kernel and so i upgraded to a 2.6.11.7 kernel, however /dev/ttyS0 is no longer my mouse and i know i read somewhere there was a new way of doing /dev/ttyS0..ttyS1..and so on, only i cannot seem to find what i read and was hopeing for a little help. it's a PC Chips VT133 mobo and with a microsoft serial port mouse, almost all is original except i have an ATI Mach64 GX vid card. thanks ok i took out the S and tty0 will let me boot un X but the mouse doesn't work so i am trying different configurations but if you have any ideas to make it quicker i would appreciate it as rebooting a million times just is no fun
ok got it i managed to compile my serial port support as a module, and neither it or serial_core was loaded. so after much ado heh it was a basic modprobe here is exactly what i did wrote a little bash script #!/bin/bash modprobe 8250 serial_core then grep -rl 8250 /etc/ history | grep modprobe cat -- > reprobe chmod 755 reprobe startx i will eventually have this run when i boot if you know an easier way please feel free to let me know as i am very rusty thanks
