Check that your XF86Config has the correct information in it. /dev/mse0 is for bus mice (that have a bus mouse controller board). /dev/psm0 is for PS/2 style mice that plug into the alternate keyboard controller connector (the PS/2 mouse connector) on the motherboard itself. Neither of these are serial mice, so if you aren't using them, ignore them and concentrate on tty00 for com1 or tty01 for com2. If you have an internal modem or something on com3/irq 4, then that could also be your problem, since it would eat interrupts.
