I see. So it turns out the "serio" interface finally goes through a
line discipline (N_MOUSE) and consequently also needs a userspace
daemon (inputattach). That doesn't give me any advantage compared
to attaching directly to the line discipline interface, so I'll
stay with the latter approach.

But glad to hear it worked out for you.

Take care,
Tilman
