Using serial mouse on cRIO-9030 embedded UI with FTDI/USB interface

[rapace51]

Hello,

does anyone know how to configure the cRIO-9030 in the XFCE desktop environment to use a clasical serial mouse with FTDI/USB interface to command the device pointer instead of an USB mouse.

The FTDI/USB interface is recognize by Linux RT as ttyUSB0 in /dev directory.

this is the result of dmesg Linux command :

I can create an xOrg.conf file with serial mouse config in, but the choice of mouse type isn't display in "Mouse and Touchplay".

this is my xOrg.conf :

The "Mouse and Touchpad" pointing device choice : (only "Generic USB K/B"  choice is displayed, but not "serial mouse"   )

Thanks.

1. I think you forgot to attach your Xorg.conf
2. You can install a helpful screenshot program (note that this will be undone when you format/reinstall). From the console:
   • opkg update
   • opkg install xfce4-screenshooter
