that's weird, because afaik, your setup is fine. i'm on an oldworld too,
and that's my exact setup for my mouse (/dev/input/mice; IMPs2). there
may be something else that's causing the fatal error. hm, try looking at
your mouse setup in console (a wild guess). also, look at whether or not
you have a line in your XF86Config(-4) that says thre-button mouse
emulation. if you do, remove it. that causes crashes it didn't in v.3 of
X, but in 4 it does).
