You don't need mouse.com file if you set up
mouse via $_mouse_dev. Dosemu have the built-in
driver, and if you actually load mouse.com, the
mouse will not work.
Also see about the permissions on /dev/psaux.
If everything fails, start dosemu with -D9+m
option and have a look into a ~/.dosemu/boot.log.

Thanks, that was helpful.  I tracked the problem down to a change in 
Fedora, /dev/psaux doesn't connect to anything anymore even though the 
file is still there, and neither does /dev/mouse.  You have to use 
$_mouse_dev = "/dev/input/mice" instead.  Now it works.
