Dear Richard,
> I know that there is no native support for dial boxes under linux
I'm using SGI dialbox (Part# DLS80-1022) with XFree86 4.0.x under linux,
with modified version of the Joe Krahn's dialbox driver.
You can get the modified version from
http://www.biochem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~ishitani/dialbox/dialbox-new.tar.gz
and the original version from
http://www.geocities.com/joekrahn/
This modified version contains following changes from the original version.
* Our SGI dialbox seems not to support absolute mode,
so I changed the driver to operate in relative mode, in default setting.
* If dialbox is not connected, initialization aborts with ignoreing errors.
You need to add the following line in the "ServerLayout" section of XF86Config.
InputDevice "Dialbox0" # <-- Dialbox entry
and add the new "InputDevice" section as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Dialbox0"
Driver "dialbox"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" # <-- serial port A
Option "EnableButtons" "on"
EndSection
