[Fedora-xen] Old serial mouse problem

People,

I have been using a Logitech Serial Mouseman for some years quite
happily on various RHx and now FC5 but I have to manually fix:

/etc/sysconfig/mouse:

FULLNAME="Generic - 3 Button Mouse (serial)"
MOUSETYPE="Microsoft"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="Microsoft"
IMOUSETYPE="ms"
DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0

usually /etc/X11/x.org is OK with:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

but when I try and boot vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0 I don't get a
mouse . . 

How do I fix this? (short of upgrading to a PS2 mouse).

Thanks,

Phil.
