Sounds like a hardware issue - either it has dust or dirt in it or it's 
starting to wear out.  You can try opening it up and cleaning it if 
you're comfortable doing that.  In any case your issue is not related to 
this bug.

Cheers,

Title:
  Serial mouse/mice not autodetected

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg” package in Baltix:
  Confirmed
Status in “casper” package in Mandriva:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the X server is automatically configured, users with serial mice
  must perform additional manual configuration, specifically:

  1. [only for releases prior to 6.06/Dapper] Install the 'joystick'
  package (don't ask)

  2. Run 'inputattach --help' and find the appropriate protocol option
  to match your mouse

  3. Run 'inputattach <protocol option> /dev/ttyS0'.  This command must
  be run at system startup in order for this configuration to be
  permanent; in Dapper, it may be added to /etc/rc.local
