With my old (very old) slackware, I simply use this:
# Mouse definition and related parameters
#
MouseSystems    "/dev/ttyS0"
#  BaudRate     9600
#  SampleRate   150
#  Emulate3Buttons

Note: My 'Artec' mouse has 3 buttons and a switch at the back (ms-2key for
dos/win and pc-3key for linux).

On Red Hat 4.1 I use a different brand mouse (but with the same switches
at the back) 'Leadgen' and MetroX with same thing: MouseSystems

Cheers,
