1 Just acquired an etrex gps. The unit comes with a serial cable . When I
2 plug in the cable to the latest stable gentoo machine, the signals are
3 (seem) to be interpreted as that for the system mouse. The mouse
4 pointer flies all over the screen, opening and closing programs all over
5 the place. Does anyone know why the serial port would be interpreted as
6 a mouse input? How do I correct this? Any hints, pointers greatly
7 appreciated.
