Logon as root. From the command prompt, run setup.
Select "Mouse Configuration". Select the mouse that's closest to
the one you have. I would suggest trying "Generic Mouse (PS/2)" or
"Generic Mouse (serial)" before the others. The two button mouse
settings are the most basic; try them first.
The next dialog will ask you if you want to update your X settings.
Select "Yes".
Then run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart". Move your mouse to see if
it looks right on a text console. If it's ok, try startx to get your
X-server going.
