ok. here is a list of protocols i have tried. for each of them i edited
/etc/X11/ZF86Config and then attempted to start an x server. if the
attempt was succesful i started up xev and tested the operation of my
mouse. tomorrow i will search the x docs for a more exhaustive list of
protocols but this will do for now.

MouseMan 	mouse is funky
ImPS/2 		not supported on platform
PS/2		funky
SysMouse	works, no wheel
MouseManPlusPS/2 not supported on platform
MouseSystems	works, no wheel
Logitech	funky
BusMouse	Works, no wheel
Microsoft	funky
MMSeries	Funky
IntelliMouse	Funky
ExplorerPS/2	not supported on platform
