This may be off topic, but someone might be able to help.  

I've got FreeBSD 3.1 on a Shuttle HOT-539 motherboard (UMC chipset).  The
kernel identifies the serial ports at 16550A's.  But I cannot get my mouse to
talk to the port at all.  The mouse works fine on my 3.1 laptop.  I've got six
of these motherboards, and I've tried several, so this isn't an isolated
problem.

So I thought it might be the cable from the motherboard to the DB9 or 25 plug. 
But I've tried nearly everyone I can find, to no avail.  Are there multiple
types of these cables?  I know there are Asus and Intel ones, but are there
others?  

The pin configurations I've tried:

(Asus?)
DB25 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 22  
FC10 3 2 7 8 5 5 1 4  9

(Intel?)
DB25 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 22
FC10 5 3 4 6 2 9 1 7  8

Could this also be a chipset problem?  Maybe FreeBSD is not identifying the
port correctly?  Is there a way to test this?  

I've also contacted Shuttle, but gotten no response.  And no, I don't have a
manual for the board.
