For sale: one old serial mouse. 

Yippee. Thanks Charl; it's working like a charm: buttons on the 
side & wheel even bring up Settings and User Menu in Enlightenment!

So if </dev/input/mouse?> is the compatible device, where is the real device? 
Is it </dev/mouse/mouse?> ? Is that speaking the 'usb' protocol as mentioned 
in the /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.mouse.gz documentation?
