Yesterday I aquired an old IR Mouse/Keyboard set...
the issue is that while it uses PS/2 for the keyboard, it uses serial for the mouse.
this is fine for windows, but for linux, its a PITA at best... I couldn't get it to work despite my best efforts.
What I would like to know is whether they make serial to PS/2 adapters... I know microsoft made one at one point and that the linux tool I was able to get to work reports the mouse as using the intellimouse standard...
