Title:
  Serial mouse/mice not autodetected

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

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
