Unhappy Serial Mouse not working


I have a logitech ps/2 mouse plugged into my serial port (my mainboard doesn't support ps/2) via an adapter. When I start up X (using startx), I notice that the mouse deosn't work. I just installed Debian Linux, but the mouse worked fine when I had Mandrake installed. I've tried tinkering with the XF86Config-4 file and changing up the "protocol" and "device" options on the mouse InputDevice, but have not had any luck yet...... can anyone help?

Could you post that section of your XF86Config-file?

Cheers,
Tink
