Hi!
I recently installed FC10 on my desktop PC. Everything's running fine expect for my logitech 3-button serial mouse which is not getting recognised under FC10.
Dear Sarfaraz,
there is a workaround to specify to the Kernel Input Subsystem(that is autoprobed) that there is a mouse available. The command used for it is '/usr/sbin/inputattach' , which is part of the 'gpm' package, installed by default. Note that this command has to be run before X starts up and does it's autoprobing, therefore it should be included as part of the system startup( The ideal/recommended location for this is in /etc/rc.d/rc.local ).
For example, if you have a 3 button Logitech serial mouse with a scroll wheel connected on COM1, this is the line i would add in rc.local "/usr/sbin/inputattach --mmwheel /dev/ttyS0"

Dear Rajeev,
Thanks for your helpful reply. Just one query, my (ancient!) mouse does not has a scroll wheel. So should I drop the "--mmwheel" part in the command mentioned by you?
Thanks & Regards, Sarfaraz
