That reveals the problem: [all irrelevant lines deleted] ># ># Character devices ># ># CONFIG_SERIAL is not set >CONFIG_MOUSE=y ># CONFIG_ATIXL_BUSMOUSE is not set ># CONFIG_BUSMOUSE is not set >CONFIG_MS_BUSMOUSE=y ># CONFIG_PSMOUSE is not set
If your mouse is attached to com1, it is obviously a SERIAL mouse. Therefore you need to configure IN the serial driver. You also might as well configure OUT bus mouse drivers, since you don't have a bus mouse. Then just make sure that /dev/mouse points to /dev/ttyS0 and that everything references either /dev/mouse or /dev/ttyS0 and tries to use the Microsoft protocol.
