Hello again,
Thanks Gareth, Mike and Vik for your advice. I'm now a bit wiser and
a bit closer to getting the mouse running properly. :-)
After modifing the XF86con file and trying the different protocols with
nothing working, I checked the list again and noticed in Nicks XF86config
file "Mouse1" as the identifier. I tried it and presto - my mouse magically
worked! I proceeded to strip the comments from my XF86Config-4 file, I
added options "Buttons" and "ZAxisMapping". I rebooted 'cause my graphics
session locked up while logging in.
My mouse stubbornly refused to go again.
I reinstated my bak up file and still no go. The same file that made it work
minutes before. I wander if another file somewhere is influencing this.
I checked to see if gpm was installed it doesn't seem to be.
Here's a sniplet from my XF86Config-4.bak file, the one that worked! once.
My current XF86Config-4 file is the same as this with the comments
removed.

Any ideas?
