I have a serial mouse(Mouse Systems) connected on COM1.  In xf86config
I have the mouse as device cuaa0 (this I know to be correct).  The
problem I'm having is that in XFree86, the cursor appears in the lower
right area of the screen initially, but as soon as I move the mouse it
moves to the far lower-left corner of the screen and will not move from
there.  It still responds to movements and clicking(a menu will temporarily
flash up), but I can't move it out of the corner.  Also, the original
window the mouse started in still has the focus even though the mouse is
not "in" it anymore.

Thanks in advance for any help.
