Hi- You probably don't have a microsoft mouse, most likely it is PS/2. Try setting the protocol to PS/2, the device to /dev/psaux (xf86config defaults to /dev/mouse but as far as I know this is only meant to be a symlink to the real device), and enable "Emulate3Buttons". You can do all of this through xf86config. Right now, X thinks your mouse is attached to a serial port (/dev/ttyS0) which is problably not the case. mj Prof. Michael T.
