Oh, I have the same mouse... and no problems on slackware.  :)

Hehe, my guess is motherboard drivers and/or something in xorg.conf

That didn't do anything.

On a side note, what's the mouse PS/2 port?  Should it be /dev/mouse?

I think so.

Do you like asking questions on your "side notes?" ;)

Well when I was editing xorg there were Option choices (commented out) for /dev/mouse, /dev/tty0, /dev/tty1 (or maybe 1, 2? I forget), and something else (which I also forget).  Just wondering if that might be *part* of the problem.

It should not matter, as when you run mouseconfig it'll point to the correct device.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
