Your problem might be that you didn't yet find 'the right connection for
your mouse'... if so it should be configured

/dev/psaux 

In general XF86Setup should give you exactly the same results as
xf86config... and according to my experience it is easier to use, because
it is easier to correct mistakes, which sometimes are being made... 

You might try running the mouse-configuration program separately as
