A very easy way to fix this would be to use the mouse in X through GPM (the
program that is used to support the mouse in terminal mode). You can do
this by running gpmconfig and telling it to use the -R flag (or optionally
by editing /etc/gpm.conf to do the same thing); then, when you set up X,
set it up to use the device /dev/gpmdata and the protocol MouseSystems.
This is what I have ended up doing with both my old M$ Intellimouse PS/2
and my new wireless logitech 4-button mouse w/wheel, because both of these
didn't seem to work in X no matter what I tried.
Hrm, perhaps I'll post to the list about my wireless mouse troubles, since
i would really like to be able to use the wheel and perhaps the 4th button
:D
Good luck.
