Does anyone have a clue why the serial port is not being detected in the new open source software?

maybe a bios issue
check your bios setup to see if they are enabled

Since this works fine with other distributions, including Xandros, I don't see how this could be the problem

What software in particular are you having this problem with?

It seems to me this has been mentioned elsewhere on the forums. It's with version 4.5, right? That was originally intended for the EeePC; maybe they left the serial stuff out of it? Must be some way around it.

This was the latest version of the free, open source Xandros software. I had to uninstall it since I use serial modems. I had to go back to Xandros Pro which has problems with CD ROM support with newer hardware. It was easier for me to get around this using flash drives.
