mouse problem

hi all!

I have a problem with my mouse namely it does not move using X neither
in terminal.
I have a serial mouse so I want to use /dev/ttyS0.
But when I listed this its type was "dialup"!
Is it normal or shall I change something?
Thanks for help!

Well I think the problem is in wrong use of ttyS0, if your mouse uses
COM1 port (in windows) then the answer of ttyS0 is correct, but if it
uses COM2 port than you must change it into ttyS1...It might be that your
modem is in ttyS0...
I hope I was of some help!
