OK. I have a ps/2 mouse and it works fine with X.

First, on bootup, go to the visual configure mode. You want to enable an
input device called psm0 - this is the ps/2 mouse device.  It present a
conflict with the keyboard or
console but that is OK.

Now, in XF86Config, DON'T TOUCH THE MOUSE until you have selected a ps/2
mouse
and the psm0 input device, and tabbed over and hit the "apply" button.

Getting the mouse to work on the console is more involved ...

Eddie.
