   For an MS Mouse, a typical setup in /etc/X11/XF86Config would be:

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol	"Microsoft" 
    Device	"/dev/mouse"
EndSection

   Of course, /dev/mouse is simply a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 (for COM1;
or linking to which ever serial port your mouse is on).

   What's serial A?  COM1?

   I think your big problem is a typo: there is no /dev/ttys0 -- it's
/dev/ttyS0 with a capital S.
