If you have the mouse on a serial port you don't need them. You
probably have a 16550A FIFO. Try disabling the FIFO in sio.c (replace
the `if <nofifo> else <...>' in /sys/i386/isa/sio.c, l. 604 with
`printf ("fifo disabled");' for a quick and dirty ``fix'' ) or get the
patches for 1.1.5.1 from ref.tfs.com (I don't remember the path, but
it should contain something like `1.1.5.1-patches'); I think
patch00018 is supposed to provide a fix for this problem.
Hope this helps.
