I been lookin at the OWconfig file in /usr/openwin/server/etc and tryed adding an entry to point to /dev/ttya (com port A) under the mouse section, but that didnt seem to work. It woulda been a stroke of luck.
I hate to think it is impossible to do. There are two COM ports, I have a good working serial mouse, theres gotta be a way! Maybe not tho? Most will say to just buy a USB pointing device...but this is not an option for us.
