OK, you have an on-board video card (built into the motherboard). There
are several motherboards like this, so it will take more specific
information. Perhaps the name of the motherboard would be enough.

If you have a PS/2 mouse, I think it would be /dev/psaux
If you have a serial mouse, these are the equivalents to DOS/Windows
DOS Linux
COM1 /dev/ttyS0
COM2 /dev/ttyS1
COM3 /dev/ttyS2
COM4 /dev/ttyS3
There is also the possibility that it is a bus mouse, or some other kind
of mouse I don't know about.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
