I just had the exact same problem! It seems that no matter what I do to tell xf86config that my mouse is on dev/psaux/ (which yours probably also is) the changes doesn't seem to be reflected in the etc/x11/xf86config -file. I had the mouse working fine and was just trying to get a little higher than 640x480 out of my ET4000, when this happened. Now I'm going to read my Linux-book and try to figure out how to edit xf86config manually from the console, before going to bed. Clues most welcome! Regards Vitux :-) Still happy to kill my Win-partition in spite of a month of heavy unix-learning.
