Sorry I can't help you with the CDROM - I suspect it may be IDE, and I
don't know anything about those.

What does your XF86Config file's "Pointer" section look like? Mine is:-

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol "Microsoft"
    Device "/dev/cuaa0"
    Emulate3Buttons
EndSection

This is for a serial mouse on the first serial port (the equivalent of
COM1).
