The only difference between the mouse section given there and mine is
that the one I'm using under 2.6.8 has the extra lines:
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I'll try taking them out for next time I boot, but the gentoo config
seems to be with x.org, not the debian stable server. The kernel
mouse messages look the same as for 2.6.8. It's a USB mouse, of
course.

Yes, it's after it (I assume) switches to the framebuffer, as I should
have made clear.

It's (I assume) the normal one for blade 100. lspci says
0000:00:13.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)
I should have thought to paste them before, but the relevant (?)

2.6.8 (which is OK) says this. Is the different MCLK the problem?

> Did you try disabling the framebuffer?
How? I'm afraid I don't understand framebuffer stuff and doc on
kernel parameters is rather deficient... I probably wouldn't care
much about the console anyway if the mouse was working.
