First of all, what kind of mouse do you have is it a PS/2 (little round plug) or is it serial? (9 or 25 pins trapezoidal plug).
if your mouse is PS/2 then modify the XF86Config file so that it reads
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
if your mouse is serial, chances are that the following lines will
work:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
EndSection
the line
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
refers to what would be called under DOS/Windows COM1, if the mouse is
on COM2 then replace ttyS0 by ttyS1 ...
Good luck
