I bumped into the same thing, with kernel 2.2.13 on a PowerPC 823 system.
I used a goto (ack) to jump over the termios calls.
Might the termios fail for any of other mouse types? Or anything
that is not accessed through /dev/ttyXX?
Maybe the following would work:
1) Make SGTTY and TERMIOS "config" options (SERMOUSE_SGTTY=Y/N,
SERMOUSE_TERMIOS=Y/N) instead of hard-coding them in mou_ser.c.
2) For "ps2" mouse type, skip the sgtty/termios stuff regardless
(or perhaps, for non-/dev/ttyXX mouse device).
