The mouse is attached to ttyS1. My 3-button serial mouse was detected wrongly as "Generic - Wheel mouse (PS/2)" which didn't work. I installed using keyboard only, selected the correct mouse during installation, just to find that "firstboot" doesn't accept any keyboard input and I need to work around that, too. FC2 Test1 will generally report that a PS/2 wheel mouse is there every time. This is fixed in current trees. As Bill said, the development tree should have this fixed Rather than reporting a PS/2 wheel mouse, FC2 final detects my mouse as a generic 2 button serial mouse, and doesn't work during the install (although it's fine once the install is complete). My mouse is actually a *3* button serial mouse, too, which meant that I had to manually run mouseconfig after installing to get the middle button working under X. *** Bug 119474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Maybe the wheel issue is solved (is it?), but serial mice are still *not* detected during installation (FC3t1). Reassigning. Serial mice aren't going to be supported during installation (unless someone provides a patch). They're just not common enough at this point and fall into the same category as ISA network cards as far as support is concerned. I dont know about other parts of the world but here in India serial mouse are much more common that ISA cards. In my office almost every system has a serial mouse but no ISA cards.
