On this one I waited until after the install was complete (used Logitech MouseMan+ for install) then edited /etc/X11/XF86.config-4 and changed the protocol to "IMPS/2" Both have worked for me. I'm installing again (lost hda1) and same thing happened with generic wheel mouse, I'll post results of mouse config after install completes.
