It was actually on the FC5 notes that I saw it, here is the test2 
version from Google:

''Serial mice are no long formally supported in the installer nor in 
Fedora Core.''

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test2-latest-en/sn-anaconda.html

But maybe there is some other problem since you are on FC4.

On the PS/2 port, sometimes they have small fuses to protect the power 
on them.  If you see such a beast near the port might be worth checking 
its resistance if you are set up for such a thing.

I bet its not so simple as going a few blocks and getting a $3 USB mouse 
where you are....
