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"
