Nope, with serial mice it doesn't. I spent a couple of hours helping pfg@ and
finally set up a test system with an old mouse from my basement. It doesn't
work in this case, libinput debug-events shows nothing. So the only way to make
these work this setting the mask to 3 and running moused, so that sysmouse is
picked up by Xorg.

We could alter the wording from

  +In case you're using a serial mouse or any other mouse that works over
  +sysmouse(4) and moused(8) on an evdev enabled kernel, please run this:

to

  +In case you're using a serial mouse or any other mouse that ONLY works over
  +sysmouse(4) and moused(8) on an evdev enabled kernel, please run this:

(this adds "only" in the text)

Saying "that doesn't support evdev" doesn't help users, as they're probably not
even aware what that means.
