I've got one of these too. You need to be a bit careful, I think X
defines an intellimouse as one of those Logitech ones, not the
Microsoft version. I have the following in /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
BaudRate 1200
# Emulate3Timeout 50
Resolution 100
# Emulate3Buttons
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
When I set up X, I don't think you could configure this using
XF86Setup (i.e. no option to choose it). If that is still true then
what I suggest you do is set up your mouse as ordinary PS/2 mouse,
check that works (if it doesn't, then the crashing is probably nothing
to do with your mouse but some other part of your X config), and then
edit your XF86Config file by hand similar to the above.
Hope that helps,
Ian.
