You're not using the correct mouse interface.  The pointer interface on
Compaq Deskpros is a keyboard mouse port, similar to what IBM provides
on PS/2s, which means that you must select the keyboard mouse entry when
running mkdev mouse.  It should work then; I've tried it on variety of
Deskpros (386s, 386/20e, 386/25, and 486/25).
