Yes, unix/linux executable search path does not include the current directory,ducwiz wrote:Ah, OK, something wrong with me ;o{
Have to learn al lot more ...
But:# chmod a+x puppyserialdetect
# puppyserialdetect
bash: puppyserialdetect: command not found???sh puppyserialdetect
puppyserialdetect: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
so you have to do this:
Code: Select all
# ./puppyserialdetect
Well, seems that I'm still stuck wth the old DOS times ...
I promise to buy or download a bunch of LINUX documentation and study it ;-)
After I chmoded puppyserialdetect with 755 it returns for 3 different serial mice:

My old serial modem gives:# ./puppyserialdetect
Type:mouse|Port:/dev/ttyS0
# ./puppyserialdetect
Type:mouse|Port:/dev/ttyS1
Presently I use v1.08r1 with a PS/2 mouse and Xorg. Xproc tells me:# ./puppyserialdetect
Type:modem|Port:/dev/ttyS1|Speed:230400
I have 4 older PCs available here (Asus PIII-F P3-550, Asus PIIB-B P3-450, PCChips M726MRT Cel.-333, Gigabyte G586HX P1-120), and all kinds of mice. If you write me down a "mose detect test schedule", I will perform it for you.12: 211831 XT-PIC PS/2 mouse
