I found the solution to this problem from a message I saw on
DejaNews. Someone mentioned that there is a 'mouseconfig' program that
will configure just the mouse. When I ran it, it looked just like the part
of the linux-mandrake install that asked about the mouse. I selected the
appropriate mouse and pressed ok, and presto! It worked. It filled in
info that was close to what was said below. the device was "/dev/psaux"
and I don't remember any ZAxisMapping, but I could be wrong there. I don't
have my ethernet card set up over there yet, so I have to use Windows to
send e-mail.

I had similar problem, when I was either getting mouse to work (after
running x86config or I was getting my display at the desired resolution and
the mouse going south (after running XConfigurator). The solution that
worked for me was to run XConfigurator, setup my video (Diamond Viper V770)
and then edit the XF86Config manually to get the mouse to run properly.
My XF86Config looks now like this:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol"IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
ZAxisMapping 4 5

I have exactly the same configuration, but for me, I can't even set my mouse
without my computer freezing.. I tried many different ways to fix it,
without any luck. If you ever succeed in configuring it, please post how you
did it!!
Thanks,

I have a Diamond Viper V770 TNT 2 video card that I successfully installed
the drivers for, which I am very proud of, since it was my first mod of
linux. However, now that I have 1280x1024x32bpp resolution in X, I don't
have a mouse that is working properly. What it is doing is as you move
the
mouse around, it is getting button press signals all over the place and
popping all over the upper-left corner of the screen.
I have played around with the settings in XF86Config to point the mouse
device as /dev/mouse and /dev/psaux. I have also used the "Intellimouse"
and "PS/2" mouse types.
What is interesting about this problem is that when I had a more typical
video card and the install figured out exactly what to set, the mouse
worked great in X.
Could it be an interrupt conflict?
Has anyone else seen this problem...?
Thanks,
Dave
