Hi all, Thanks for everyone's help though, because I fixed it this evening!! I went thru the mouse setup in my Yast2 control center and it chose the correct mouse this time, but I couldn't use it as imps/2. I unplugged the mouse from the PS/2 port and put it in the USB port. Ran the mouse setup again, it chose the Intelli/Wheel mouse (usb) and all was working correctly!
Do you suppose there was a conflict with the PS/2 port or what? Anyway, I have it working as a usb mouse now and am happy to have figured it out. Thanks to everybody that replied! I am also thinking if I had maybe used the "DEVICE" "/dev/input/mouse" switch in XF86Config instead of "/dev/mouse" it might have worked as IMPS/2 also, but I didn't bother to try this after getting it to work as USB.
