Thank you :) AFAIK even when using a xorg.conf and I'm using one for the monitor, HAL does the mouse settings, as long as there isn't xserver-xorg-input-mouse installed. Oops, the USB mouse does work although I've got a xorg.conf without mouse settings, but the xserver-xorg-input-mouse driver installed. I set up HAL or what ever, can't remember the file at the moment, when I tried to get the old PS/2 mouse wheel working (of cause I tried xorg.conf for the PS/2 mouse too). I wish to have a wired mouse with a design similar to my old mouse. USB seems to be ok too, no USB is sharing an IRQ with a sound card. I guess both, ball and laser are ok for me.
