Sounds like the wrong mouse protocol is being specified in your XF86Config
file. In my XF86Config I have :
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "ps/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
Also :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$ ls -l mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 10 14:23 mouse -> /dev/psaux
I would check those two items and see what your system has.
