Sounds like the wrong protocol is being used for the mouse. I don't recall if there's simply one called "PS/2", but I do know there's one called "IMPS/2". I think that's for mice with a scroll wheel though... Just checked XFree86's site and there is a "PS/2" protocol. Try that first. Good luck Hall
