X and Fluxbox :: mouse has to be set after every reboot

How can I force X11 to use the serial, com1 (tty0?), 3-button mouse?

Nearby all the other components work fine but this is nerving.

in filetool.lst add this line:
ln -sf /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse
if your mouse is on com1

thanks i ll try it.

Actually, I think he meant:

Add this line to your /opt/bootlocal.sh bootup command file and then use the filetool.lst backup and restore method to make it automatically re-appear when you boot up your computer.

Chances are, you've already GOT a /dev/mouse ....
Try " rm -rf /dev/mouse " first,
then the " ln -sf /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse "

If this works for you, you should put these 2 lines in your /opt/bootlocal.sh file.

Also, make sure a "opt/bootlocal.sh" line is in your " /home/dsl/filetool.sh" ,
before you run your backup if your running from LiveCD ..

This is how I keep a serial mouse on my HDInstalled laptop .
