FYI, Red Hat has a mouse config utility that handles serial mice:

guide/s1-mouseconfig.html

Also, Mandriva handles a serial mouse, but appears to also be having
issues now which would indicate it's an xorg problem in general:

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “xorg” package in Baltix: New

Bug description:
When the X server is automatically configured, users with serial mice must perform additional manual configuration, specifically:

1. [only for releases prior to 6.06/Dapper] Install the 'joystick'
package (don't ask)

2. Run 'inputattach --help' and find the appropriate protocol option to
match your mouse

3. Run 'inputattach <protocol option> /dev/ttyS0'.  This command must be
run at system startup in order for this configuration to be permanent;
in Dapper, it may be added to /etc/rc.local
