Yes, it is an USB one. There was an USB-to-serial convertor though which I havent been using.

I figured out the mouse settings. Now it works quite well. I had to disable gpm to get it to work. Also I had to create a device file /dev/ttyS0 as it is a serial mouse. I did that using 'mouseconfig' script.
Ok. But this is weird. I have gpm running, and it works alongside X without problems. My config given below.
