You should have a more informative log in /var/log/XFree86.0.log

Perhaps you're using the wrong mouse protocol?  I use "auto" on a
ps/2 MS "intellimouse" on my AS200:

Section "Pointer"
#    Protocol    "PS/2"
    Protocol    "Auto"
#    Protocol    "Microsoft"
#    Protocol    "IMPS/2"
    Device      "/dev/psm0"
#    Protocol   "Xqueue"
#    BaudRate   9600
#    SampleRate 150
#    Emulate3Buttons
#    Emulate3Timeout    50
#    ChordMiddle
    ZAxisMapping 4 5
    Buttons 5
EndSection

Have you tried 16bpp?

Have you tried adjusting the modelines?
