Try editing the lines in your XF86Config where you have Protocol "Microsoft" Change this to Protocol "Auto" When I had a two button Microsoft serial mouse, it worked flawlessly with that configuration. Also, your device should work fine with /dev/mouse if you have a symbolic link (and it appears that you do from your previous posts) like Alexandre had suggested. So, where you have Device "/dev/tty0" Change that to Device "/dev/mouse" Let the list know if you have further problems.
