    If the mouse is on COM2 (windows), the mouse device should be
    /dev/ttyS1, and I'm guessing that driver to be used should be the
    "Microsoft" driver like so:

    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier "Configured Mouse"
            Driver "mouse"
            Option "CorePointer"
            Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
            Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
    EndSection

    I may be wrong about the driver, since I havent used a serial mouse in a
    long time. You could give it a whirl report back if it doesnt work.
