Make sure that your COM ports are on different IRQs (COM1-IRQ4,COM2-IRQ3).

Sounds like minicom is trying to write to your mouse. Does your minicom use the correct COM port?

please run "minicom -s" to set initialization parameters:

Serial port setup -> Serial device:/dev/ttyS1

I suggest you to switch ports:
move the mouse to first serial port and plug the cable into second serial port.
then you'll have to reconfigure the minicom to use the correct port (ttyS1).
Let us know if it helps.
