No mouse!

All--

I just installed an FIC PA-2011 m/b, with an AMI BIOS.  After installing RH 4.2
w/ MetroX, I could not get MetroX to recognize the mouse.  I've checked out all
the usual suspects:  conflicting IRQ's, wrong addresses, etc.  I did notice in
the BIOS setup that support for the PS/2 mouse port was enabled; no change
after disabling this (the mouse is on the COM2 port, no other serial ports
present).

Is there a utility or a way to monitor I/O across a dev port?  I'd like to see
if in fact the I/O signals from the serial port even exist.

Other suggestions welcome.

FWIW, I'm real happy with the PA-2011 (the last Supermicro board I had was a
real bitch).  I felt like I was getting ripped off with Intel's brain-damaged
TX chipset.  The VIA chipset seems to work very well...
