Serial keyboard?

For the serial mouse, check to see if you have a symlink between /dev/ttyS0 (com1) or /dev/ttyS1 (com2) and /dev/mouse

ls -al /dev/mouse

If there isn't a link, then create using

ln -s /dev/ttyS# /dev/mouse

# is 0 for com1 or 1 for com2

Make sure in /etc/X11/XF86Config (-4), that you have


Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"


in the InputDevice Section for the mouse.
