Most serial mice requires certain serial parameters to be set to 
operate properly. Ad MouseSystems is a serial protocol LibGII tries
to set the correct parameters, but this ofcourse fails because
/dev/gpmdata is a pipe, not a serial device.

I've now fixed it so we don't try to set serial parameters on pipes,
works fine here at least.

What kind of a switch? Does the user request a switch, or does the
mouse swicth by itself? In the former case, how does one do that?
In the latter case - that's weird! ;) But shouldn't be very hard
to implement in LibGII.
