Thanks to everyone that replied! The key for me was hearing about
"gpm". I can't recall all the combinations I tried last night, but I
was successful setting up the mouse to work with both X and the
console. After configuring gpm for the console, I changed the Pointer
declaration in XF86Config to use ttyS0, but I had to rename
/dev/gpmdata for X to listen to the serial port.
Since I'm going to use xdm for now, I suppose the major loss to me is
that I can't triple-click to reboot my machine. I'm sure that a
uniform mouse device for X & console must be a wonderful thing, but I
alas must go without, for now. And besides, I just discovered that my
keyboard's acting weird.
It never ends. (But at least it is pretty.)
