I cannot comment on your colordepth settings, but I know the mouse issue...
this works:
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I forget if sysmouse works right or not under the version i'm running right now, but the psm0 works just fine...
I banged my head on my desk after upgrading from 3.x some time back trying to figure out why the mouse always went crazy and then
after a fraction of a second disappearing...
Don't ask me what is happening with it, but the above mouse section fixes it [you will although lose the mouse in the VTY, and DO
NOT LOAD MOUSED!]...
