Hi,
I don't think you have a problem with your mouse. There seems to be a bug
on gpm on slackware 3.5. Try to find gpm on /etc/rc.d/rc.local and remove
the "-R" switch. Then X will work. I'll try to send an e-mail to Patrick
Volkerding about this problem.
Mine looks like: "gpm -m /dev/mouse -t bare".

Note that this works for me, It may not work for you.
