ok.. it doesnt work in the console or X, i had a microsoft intellipoint 
somethingrather before, with a scroller and the ball ontop, 5 buttons. it 
worked fine, wasnt wireless though. my new one doesnt work in usb OR ps/2, it 
came with an adapter and my Pointers section is as follow ;]

Section "InputDevice" 
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"   
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
