On 1 I feel you used the standard (not expert) install. For some reason mice are tricky to auto-detect, and the expert install allows you to select a type and then test it*. Given that there's a problem, I also suggest you use the USB to PS/2 converter to plug the mouse into the PS/2 port; there were some oddities with USB mice in the beta testing. (Methinks this test should be included in the standard install; I suggested it was, but it didn't happen). Can't help with 2. On 3, you can use xf86config to set the monitor back to a generic default. Is anything added by using a non-generic setting? (Not here - 'flat panel 1280x1024' does the job although there are loads of iiyama-specific settings). Alastair * interestingly, the test results in moving the pointer round a box and the 'cursor going nuts' for a few seconds until it behaves itself.
