O.K. - the mouse is incorrectly cofigured somewhere. Presumably in the
svgalib config files that are as well read by LibGGI.

No. That will not help. It effectively disables Linux-specific support
for some inputs.

Yes. This is the expected behaviour.

Yes. This is on purpose, as it normally autodetects, if no file is given.

O.K. - if it is a PS/2 mouse, it should work with the ps/2 driver.

Um - you read the docs to the end, did you ? It expects
------ snip --------
mouse ps2
mdev /dev/psaux
------ snip --------
to be in the file. The latter entry can probably be pointed to /dev/mouse,
given a proper symlink.

That means, that the card can be detected, but only the VGA driver
is available for it, which is pretty much useless for something like
Berlin.
Try using either the kernel-provided ATI-fb driver (it doesn't state
explicitly, though, if the Rage II is supported), or the kernel-provided
VESA driver.
If that doesn't work, you can still resort to XFree-DGA in order to get a
fullscreen-demo for Berlin.
