Well a ps2 mouse is not a serial device, you need a link in /dev/
/dev/mouse -> psaux
It can be created with;
cd /dev
rm mouse
ln -s psaux mouse

ctrl-alt-backspace
Make sure your XF86Config has a ps2 mouse defined.
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
gpm should be started as;
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps2

O i have never seen one that runs via a serial port, however i suspect it has
its own IRQ, check with
cat /proc/interrupts
Now i could of couse be wrong, but the commands i have given work with a normal
ps/2 mouse.
There is another option with devices and thats gpmdata, i dont know if this
will help you but man gpm does explanes what gpmdata does.
