PS/2 vs Serial mouse.

Hi,

I have a question regarding using a Logitech cordless MouseMan Pro PS/2 
mouse on a Compaq LTE 5200 notebook.  Although it is a PS/2 mouse, I can 
only hook it up to COM1 to get it to work in X.  If I plug it into PS/2 
port, the cursor won't move.  I assume it's because ttyS0 is taken by 
COM1 and not PS/2 port.  Can anyone tell me if this is the case, and 
which one is for PS/2, or will the mouse work as a PS/2 mouse?  I am 
using "MouseMan" as the mouse protocal.  Thanks!


Best wishes,
Chip
