RE: serial mouse
1) First make sure your are describing the mouse port as:
/dev/ttyS0
NOT /ttys0
2) If you have installed gpm-frozenVer.deb, this update
sets up to new mouse devices: /dev/gpmdata and /dev/gpmctl
and more over,with WARNING sets
/dev/mouse -> /dev/gpmdata
(a Bug report has been filed)
Thus if you enter /dev/mouse in XF86Config, it will try use
/dev/gpmdata which might not suffice. It didn't on my
laptop with ps2 mouse (/dev/psaux)
Changing from /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux in XF86Config solved
the X problem for me.

Hey there again.
I'm having problems setting up x with this serial mouse.
It's an MS serial mouse. I specified MS mouse on ttys0.
That's
serial A right? I don't think I'm losing my mind. There
isn't a map in
fstab that I'm supposed to specify is there?
