Malcolm Kay has kindly suggested some recourse however this has come to no avail and I was wondering whether anyone else would have some insights. The mouse works when setting up moused with /stand/sysinstall and xf86cfg but when gnome loads any mouse movement translates into the cursor moving to the top right of the screen. I have tried the various protocols under xf86cfg and followed the instructions in the FAQ that suggest adding lines to the config file, and also linking /dev/mouse and /dev/sysmouse. I am at a loss so any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Adam Flaherty
