I've got one of these too. You need to be a bit careful, I think X defines an intellimouse as one of those Logitech ones, not the Microsoft version. I have the following in /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "Pointer" Protocol "IMPS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" BaudRate 1200 # Emulate3Timeout 50 Resolution 100 # Emulate3Buttons ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection When I set up X, I don't think you could configure this using XF86Setup (i.e. no option to choose it). If that is still true then what I suggest you do is set up your mouse as ordinary PS/2 mouse, check that works (if it doesn't, then the crashing is probably nothing to do with your mouse but some other part of your X config), and then edit your XF86Config file by hand similar to the above. Hope that helps, Ian.
