/dev/tty0, /dev/tty1, /dev/tty10...and so on...which should be used for a device ???
Hello all,
Yesterday i reinstalled Slackware 10.0. previously everytime /dev/mouse and "auto" protocol worked for me. But this time it took me a long to configure the mouse. my mouse is "logitech", serial, 3 button. finally the setting are "MouseMan" and /dev/ttyS0" But before this i tried with the following : /dev/tty0 /dev/tty1 /dev/tty10 /dev/tty11 /dev/tty12 .......and few more... Is seems to me like hit and trial method. Is there any other way of doing it...or just hit and trial ??? regards |
/dev/ttyS0 is the first serial port equivalent to dos's com1, and /dev/tty[number] are virtual consoles, you can switch through them by press ctrl + left alt + f1-f7 (normal linux system has seven virtual consoles).

The bottom-line is you shouldn't use /dev/tty[int] for mouse and device mapping.
