You don't give very much information, but I'll assume you have a sun type 
keyboard and a sun mouse attached to that keyboard.

Here is what works on my Ultra 10.

If you are using a 2.4 kernel, you need to select /dev/sunmouse as port.

If you are using a 2.6 kernel, you are probably running into a known 
problem [1] that was fixed this week [2].
For 2.6 kernels select the /dev/psaux port.

In both cases protocol "PS/2" is your best bet.
