That does not make sense. Is it a serial mouse plugged into your serial
port or is it a bus mouse plugged into a Logitech board. If it is a true
serial mouse, then make sure you know which port it is conected to,
/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1. Then you can set up a symlink to link /dev/mouse
to one of these ports. There is a command line package called gpm that is
used to give you mouse control while in a Linux command line shell. GPM is
normally disabled when X is running.
I don't know what distribution of Linux you have, but shutdown to probably
basic multi-user mode (probably run level 1). Then login as root. If gpm
is running kill it.
Try to run gpm with possibly the following parameters:
gpm -t bare -m /dev/ttyS0
Or gpm -t bare -m /dev/ttyS1 if this is the case. You may need to
experiment with differend baudrates, like 1200 or 9600.
Once you find the right settings then configure X accordingly.
