If it's a DB-9, then it's probably a serial mouse.  

From memory, the format SHOULD be:
1  -- Data Carrier Detect          6  -- Data Set Ready
2  -- Receive                      7  -- Request to Send
3  -- Transmit                     8  -- Clear to Send
4  -- Data Terminal Ready          9  -- Ring Indicator
5  -- Signal Ground

Your milage may vary.  I suggest you find a manual on the subject, as I am
recalling this list from memory.
