How to configure a serial mouse through Serial port add on card.

Serial Port card Model no: mcs9820cv
OS details : Ubuntu 8.10

Motherboard having two serial ports (com and Com1). These twwo ports are working fine when edit

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for the InputDevice section for the mouse and add the serial device

 Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0 for Com port
       Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1 for Com1 port

similarly I edit "/dev/ttyS2 for add on card but it is not working.

please find the attached lspci and lshw output.

Can you also attach the output of:

 #sudo setserial -a /dev/ttyS0
 #sudo setserial -a /dev/ttyS1

 If you could not find the 'setserial' command then you can install it by 'apt-get install setserial' from CLI.

And of course:

#sudo lspci -nnv'

Alos, you can give the output of:

#lsmod | grep "parport"
#modprobe -l | grep "parport"

Can you check that "/dev/ttyS2" exists, what does "ls -l /dev/ttyS2" output?
Also can you give the output of "lshal"?

please refer output of following
"ls -l /dev/ttyS2"
"lshal"
