If it's a serial mouse, probably the easiest way to find out which
port it's on is to do:
cat </dev/ttyS0
and then move the mouse around, click, etc. If `stuff' gets printed
out you've got the right port. If not, repeat with /dev/ttyS1, S2 &
S3.
If it's a `something else' mouse, find out what. A PS/2 mouse ought
to work if read from /dev/psaux for example.

1. /dev/mouse versus /dev/kbd.
Solaris 2.5
Outside of any windowing environment is it possible to determine
mouse movement versus keyboard action? Stat'ing /dev/mouse after
a keyboard press results in a the same access time as /dev/kbd and
visa versa. Therefore with stat I can not determine which device
was actually used since the access time in the stat structures are
updated for both devices. It's not a biggie but a puzzling question
none the less.
