This has been solved here:

Original Post:
I would like to see an additional option when starting DSL (I thinks its the xsetup.sh) to have the keyboard numpad function as the mouse so you can use the numpad arrow keys to move your mouse pointer.

This will be very useful for notebooks and people that only have an old computer with a DB9 mouse serial port, but no mouse (they are really hard to get this days), Like me...

This will also make a great default in case the system fails to recognize a mouse (exotic\old).

P.S: I'm currently trying to implement this here, with no luck:-( :
