Sorry, I forgot to mention that it is a two button mouse, and I tried
different BaudRates and for higher rates (>1200) it didn't move and for lower
rates I still had a jerky motion.

To check if it was the mouse, I put on a Logitech Mouseman cordless(3 button),
and at 1200 I'm still getting the jerky motion and at 9600 (the only other
allowed) the system doesn't see the mouse (or atleast it doesn't move the
pointer).
