Under Win '95, can you go to the system resouce control pannel and check
to see which port the mouse is attached to? This should probably be com1
or com2. This will confirm the hardware port for the device (/dev/ttyS0
is for com1, and /dev/ttyS1 is for com2). If by some chance, your mouse
is a MS ps2 port mouse, you will need to use a kernel that is compiled
with ps2 mouse support.
