I can't comment on your depth problems as I don't know what kind of card
you have. My GeForce II works great in 32-bit color. However, your mouse
problem might be your definition in XF86Config. I run moused like:
moused -z 4 -p /dev/psm0 -t auto
and this is from my XF86Config:
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Resolution" "100"
