Hi, I have also had some problems with my mouse. Even that I'm a novice in Linux, maybe this helps: Using the XF86Setup I have choosed the MouseSystem mouse with ClearDTR. This way my mouse works very well and I can use all the 3 buttons of it. Other problem that I have had was that, if I have used the -R option in gpm, my mouse froze under X, and the only way to make it work again was to unload the gpm from memory.
And one tip from me, too: use $ startx -- -bpp 16 to start to X in 16 bit mode (or with -bpp 24, for true color).
