First off Denny, thanks for answering my email for help. Here goes..

Yes, manually entered it.

Yes, actually here is what it says:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse Explorer, device ID 4

I'd love to see the file it generates for X looks "great" when I leave
it alone and startkde with no files.

I can't seem to find the one it's using, here are the results of a
seach I did. I had one file in my home directory from another machine
but that file is not named valid for use, here is the seach results.
liam# find / -name "xorg.c*"
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/xorg.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/usr/home/wiliweld/xorg.conf.new

The mouse I'm using works fine in another 32bit 5.4 machine and here is
the seach path results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]-> find / -name "xorg.c*" -print
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/xorg.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/getconfig/xorg.cfg
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg
/root/xorg.conf.new
And inside the last file there is the mouse settings of:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
I'll keep hacking Denny, thanks
