[Bug 9068] Re: Serial mice are not autodetected

[Marco Aurélio Graciotto Silva]

Tell the _novice_ user to read the documentation and change the X
configuration, under the risk of messing it up and lose the graphical
interface, is not exactly user friendly.

However, asking the user for the correct mouse configuration is, indeed,
a very good idea.

An alternative solution would be to setup a serial mouse if no pointing
input device was detected. I cannot imagine using the X without such
device. Most users also think so. If the system admin don't want a
mouse, he may manually change the X configuration: it's much better an
experienced person change that than a novice user.
