what type of mice do you have? Microsoft Intellimouse is actually a PS/2
not serial or bus mouse. it is possible that you are choosing in setup the
wrong mouse. i personally made that mistake a few times.

$XF86Setup is usually pretty good about mice. You might want to try
$XF86Config

$No, it shouldn't be there. How did you install it? Through a
$package manager?
$Try uninstalling it the same way, then reinstalling.

$Forced check? Are you getting any errors from the check? If there are no
$errors, you're fine except for the increased boot time. Otherwise,
$this could
$be indicative of a bigger problem.
