Is it a "plain" MouseMan? Is it a serial model? If it is a PS/2-port-only model or a PS/2-port and USB model, you cannot put it to a serial port. If it is a plain MouseMan (3 button mouse without a wheel), find a label on the belly of the mouse. You sould find the model # and description. If it says "Serial" or "Serial-MousePort", then you can plug it to a serial port. If it says "MousePort", it is a PS/2 model. Once you are sure that it is a serial mouse, try the following command ("auto" instead of "mouseman"). moused -p /dev/cuaa0 -d -f -t auto Unless your MouseMan is one of very old models, moused should be able to detect it is MouseMan.
