  I recently got myself a Logitech Mouse Man mouse, which is also a
PS/2 mouse.

  When I set it up, I discovered that even though it is MouseMan, it can't
run with the mouseman protocol, even if you set the device right.  It can
only run as a "PS/2" type mouse.  I'd look at the XF86Config file, and
edit the section for the pointer... make sure all other items were removed,
except for Device and Protocol.  Then set the device to /dev/psaux, and
then fiddle with the Protocol, between the options Microsoft bus mouse,
logitech busmouse (mouseman) a plain ps/2, etc.  There are a few of these
protocols, and it's probably what is the bother.
