So this is an Xorg bug after all? @Ben Collins: Thanks for taking time to read this (poorly written) bug report. I have a few more info to add, though.
I recently ran some more tests with other distributions (Live CDs), in an attempt to see a pattern. I tried out the latest versions of the following distributions, and the kernel versions they were using: SimplyMEPIS 6 beta 3 (2.6.15-22) KNOPPIX 5.0.1 (2.6.17) SymphonyOS Beta 2006-05 (2.6.16) GoblinX mini (2.6.16.12) Berry Linux (2.6.16) Of all these, it was only SimplyMEPIS 6 that was able to make my mouse work. I also tested the same distros using an older PS/2 mouse and it worked with all of them. (But the older PS/2 mouse itself is quite defective). I saved the dmesg log of each distro using the 2 mice. These 2 mouse-related lines were common in the dmesg logs of the distros where the mouse didn't work input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input1 psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1 While for the distros that did work, this was the line: input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input1 I'm not sure about my conclusion, but it seems that kernel versions higher that 2.6.15-23 (2.6.15-25, 2.6.16, and 2.6.17) doesn't seem to recognize/load my mouse properly anymore. But as you said, it's an Xorg problem, so I might be greatly mistaken. I will be attaching the dmesg outputs for the different distros I tested (excluding MEPIS).
