An 2.0.x fix would be to use gpm as your mouse driver (also for
X).
Setup goes something like this (gpm(8) for details):
# setup gpm as a repeater (for graphics mode -- no cat in console ;)
% gpm -R
#
% ln -s /dev/gpmdata /dev/mouse # make sure you've removed /dev/mouse
# finally, be sure to setup XF86Config so that it recognises your
# mouse on /dev/mouse being a MouseSystems protocol
Blop. That should do the trick.
Have fun,
