Serial Mouse / USB Mouse on install?

A coworker is attempting to install QNX6/ RTP on an existing
computer with a serial mouse, and the rodentia is non-functional
when the system is booted to QNX. He’s also tried on another
comptuer with USB mouse.

Does an install require a PS2 mouse, or should the serial mouse
be detected and used by the default installation?

I know that drivers exist for the USB mouse: how does he
configure for it when his system boots to Photon with no mouse?

Serial mouse should be successfully detected.
I don’t remember any problem with serial devices.
If you would like to use USB mouse, just start three programs:
devu-ohci (or devu-uhci) - depends on your USB chipset
devu-mouse
devi-hirun msoft fd -d /dev/usbmouse0 kbd fd -d/dev/kbd
