LinuxLingam, I saw this problem yesterday on the IRC channel. I think the problem you are having is that you don't have the kernel modules installed, so the serial.o module isn't getting loaded, so you can't use a serial mouse.
You need to install the ltsp_kernel package. If you go through the proper installation script, it will install the kernel into /tftpboot/lts, and it will install the kernel modules to /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/modules Then, it should be able to load the kernel module.
