I'm running kernel 4.4 (although I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant in this
case.  My situation is this:  my mouse had been working fine...configured it
during install and configured it as /dev/sysmouse when I ran xf86config.
After configuring my modem and ppp I'd get the error "Mouse device busy" or
something to that affect, when trying to start x.  It (the mouse) is
physically attached to COM1 on my motherboard...but what's throwing me off
is...I'm using an adapter because the system in question is an AT and my
mouse is a microsoft ps/2(hence it's connected to a serial port via an adapter).  When I "boot -c" it's showing up as /dev/ps0 on irq 12 and it's refusing to let me change it....I'm assuming it needs to be on 0x3F8 irq 4.  I've tried running sysinstall and xf86config to reconfigure with no luck.  Any input or links to resources would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

matt fales
