An easy way to find out whether a device indeed gets the mouse input
is to use hexdump: If running
hexdump /dev/ttyS0
and then moving the mouse gives you a stream of hex digits, then you've
got the right device. If nothing happens, then there's little reason to
expect any response by X's mouse cursor...
