There is still no technical possible way to support autodetection for serial mice out of the box, but we found an easy workaround that makes a serial mouse using the /dev/input/mice device, so there is no need to reconfigure your X server anymore.
in warty hoary breezy, there is a packae called joystick which includes a tool called inputattach. running this tool like:
inputattach --<protocol> <device>
(see inputattach --help for supported protocols)
in dapper the inputattach tool was split out of the joystick package, moved to its own package and will be included on the CD by default.
