For XFree86 and kernel 2.4, a Sun mouse appears at /dev/sunmouse, and with 
kernel 2.6 it appears at /dev/psaux .  "Protocol" should be set to "busmouse" 
and "ImPS/2" for the respective kernels.

You'll probably have to edit these in by hand to the /etc/X11/X*.conf file.

The M$ mouse probably should show up at  /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 , depending 
on which port the mouse is attached to.
