On my Pentium 133 MHz, my cheap 3-key serial mouse
(hardware type  = "Mouse Systems") runs well with
following mouse entries in '/etc/XF86Config-4':

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Section "ServerLayout"
#   ...
	InputDevice    "Serial Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"  "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Serial Mouse"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option      "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
	Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
	Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
EndSection
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

(On power-on, I have to keep pressing my left mouse key
for some seconds, in order to switch it's hardware reaction
from "microsoft" to "mouse systems" mode.

I prefer running my mouse in "Mouse Systems" mode,
compared to "Microsoft" mode, since that way,
I don't need any emulation for operating my
middle mouse key.)
