Nope, this is not a serial port.

No. While inastalling X or gpm you should tell coniguration program that
your mouse using /dev/psaux device, and the protocol is ps2.
The simplest way would be to exit from X, "dpkg --purge gpm",
then install "gpm" package. It will ask you questions about the device
on the protocol of the mouse.
