I have a spaceball 4000FLX serial that was working fine on Windows XP in my old PC. I now have a new 64bit linux system, that originally came without serial ports. I installed a PCI serial card today, connected the spaceball, and fired up the system. The PCI card seems to have been detected fine:
Code: Select all
bash-3.1$ ls /dev/ttyS*
/dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS3
bash-3.1$
Some info about my system if it is useful:
Motherboard: ABIT NF-M2 nView
CPU: Athlon64 X2 (G1 Brisbane) 4000+ (24H prime stable overclocked) @ 260x10.5
PCI serial card: here
OS: Bluewhite64 12.0 (slackware-based 64bit distro)
WM: Fluxbox
