I haven't tried this recently, but when I tried moving /dev/mouse to point
to /dev/ttyS0 instead of /dev/cua0 it completely broke gpm. ttyS0 is
definately not in use by anything else.

I guess that won't work eventually. Incidentally, when is cua* going to
become completely obsolete (as in non-functioning)?
