I second this request for assistance, I have the same problem.

I've been searching all day today, and on a couple of other days last week, and I haven't found any guidance.

Thanks for helping a couple of noobs.

It should be recognized automatically after using the xsetup.sh and then restart Xwindows with the "startx" command.

You should try all available serial ports (ttyS0 ttyS1 ttyS2 ttyS3 etc) because sometimes COM1: is not mapped to ttyS0

Otherwise, your mouse protocol must be unsupported by the XVesa or Xfbdev servers and you may need to install XFree86.dsl to get support for this mouse.
