hmm, i wonder why my experiments with


cat /dev/ttyS0

didn't show any activity, but


gpm -m /dev/ttyS0

did.

hmm.

update, feb 04/05, completely by accident found the reason
why the above didn't work. i wasn't tickling the serial
port properly. found it on the openeeg website, on the
tutorial.

here it is:


#!/bin/sh



# Configure serial port

stty -F /dev/ttyS0 sane 57600 intr undef quit undef erase undef kill undef eof undef eol undef eol2 undef start undef stop undef susp undef rprnt undef werase undef lnext undef flush undef min 1 time 0 ignbrk -brkint -icrnl -imaxbel -opost -onlcr -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke



# View port traffic and write to file '/tmp/test.dat'

cat /dev/ttyS0 | tee /tmp/test.dat | od -tx1 -w17

xfree mouse man page. good.

thank you - a perfect answer about a serial mouse as a second mouse on a laptop. you:

A new section called ServerLayout has been added to allow the layout of the screens and the selection of input devices to be specified. The ServerLayout sections may also include options that are normally found in the ServerFlags section. Multiple ServerLayout sections may be present, and selected from the command line. The following example shows a ServerLayout section for a dual-headed configuration with two Matrox cards, and two mice:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout 1"
Screen "MGA 1"
Screen "MGA 2" RightOf "MGA 1"
InputDevice "Keyboard 1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse 1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse 2" "SendCoreEvents"
Option "BlankTime" "5"
EndSection

after a full day of trying to get windows2000 to work well with linux under vmware, i decided to just go back to xp instead. i'm in it now, and it's much better, i have to admit. i need this of course because i want to publish photos from flickr, but can't with linux.

cool paper on protein entropy. i should do an updated version with the new PDB holdings.
