Hi! I've been lurking for a while and have been enjoying tinkering with
muLinux on a laptop as well. Finally a question I might be able to
answer!! :)
If you want to use the setup feature, use 'setup -f port' and after
choosing (or skipping) MODEM_DEVICE and PRINTER_DEVICE, you should enter
'/dev/psaux' for MOUSE_DEVICE, and 'PS/2' for MOUSE_PROTOCOL. This
should install the proper drivers for any PS2 mouse built into a laptop.
I've started using a simple shell script that will install the mouse
drivers for me and start gpm all in one step:
#!/bin/sh
setup -m misc/misc
setup -m misc/psaux
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps2 -r 10
There is a linux on laptops HOWTO that is very helpful:

Anyway, I've also just recently gotten the PCMCIA card modem working as
well, and am thoroughly impressed at how MuLinux has made this old 486
laptop a very useful machine, with just a few floppies! Great job,
Michele!! A postcard is on the way as soon as I can find one suitable.
Although you may already have one from Tallahassee, FL, I noticed there
was someone else on this list from here as well. Small world! Hi Brett!!
:)
viva la muLinux!
