Heh, I'd tried the default entry for the serial devices and had no such
luck. I also typoed, that's why there was no `unknown' for a terminal
entry. The `unknown' should have been in place of `none'. I'm doing my
best to RTFM, but there's not much help for serial mice (Why the hell do
you need to run getty on it anyway? That's what I don't get.. *shrug*).
I'll try that line and see if it works. And yes, I *am* running ttyflags
-a. :)
Thanks alot for the fast response.
