Serial mouse

ahh this is so cool Now I can clean the mouse ball again. Cultural techniques which would have get lost
No, this seriously saved my weekend a bit, bc all I had... was a serial mouse. Here's a trivial addition to make a systemd service for attaching that thing permanently at boot, needs to be adapted to actual protocol and port. The folks at Arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Serial ... rnel_input seems to have sth. like this with the package, but whatever. Put it at /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/inputattach.service

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Attach serial mouse from /dev/ttyS0 with MouseMan protocol


[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/inputattach -mman /dev/ttyS0


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and enable it.

Best,

rü
