I know that but I decided at the same time to change them them to
ttyS0/1. Result is still the same. Thinking about it, the time that the
mouse stopped working was when I removed my internal modem and replaced
it with a external (old modem melted after 4 years of hard work). I am
also grabbing 2.2.10 which is the last kernel that I know that the mouse
worked with.

I disabled the 16450 and enabled the second 16550A but making the ports
ttyS0/1 in the process as well. Still the same problem. The strange thing
is that during boot up, the mouse port speed (comm port) is set to 1200
but not by my config files, I even tried setting it to sp_vhigh but that
only affected the setserial not /proc/tty/driver/serial settings.
