/dev/mouse is the bus mouse device.  For a mouse on COM1, use
/dev/tty00 in your XF86Config file.

If only operating systems were that simple.  If there are any jumpers
on the card, set them so they don't conflict with any other IRQ, port
addrs, DRQ, what-have-you.  Record your settings.  Set them for the
``ed'' driver in your kernel config file.  Reconfig your kernel.
Build it.  Install it.  Boot it.  Run it.  Then, the fun begins.
