Hi all,

I have a Mitsumi Serial Scroll Mouse on COM1, I was always able to get
it working in Redhat 6.x and 7.x with the usual editing of
/etc/X11/XF86Config.

Now with Fedora Core 1, I can't get the scroll button (it's not actually
a wheel) to function.

Here is the relevant parts of XF86Config, could you tell me what I need
to fix?  

Thanks in advance, Beny
