I solved problem changing HAL configuration. I modified the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi in Ubuntu 9.10
changing the mouse configuration section with these lines:

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
      <merge key="input.device" type="string">/dev/ttyS0</merge>
      <merge key="linux.device_file" type="string">/dev/ttyS0</merge>
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
    </match>

After this change, it's needed to restart HAL and Xorg.
Maybe someone can do better and produce a new file... but at least my serial mouse
it's working now! (sorry i posted the whole file before the solution :-P)

Bye!
