Logout X using Alt-Ctrl-Backspace, run "mc" and edit file /etx/X11/XF86Config and in the section
Section "Pointer"
Device "/dev/psaux"
Protocol "ImPS/2"
Emulate3Buttons
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection

Change "psaux" with "ttyS0" and "ImPS/2" with "Microsoft"
save exit mc and run startx. You should be ok now.

Try /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS2
or
/dev/ttyS3

There have been some reports that "COM1" in windows does not always translate in to serial port 0 in DSL.

Good Luck.
