    Do you have a /dev/psaux device file? That's what it will look for if you
tell it to use a PS2 mouse. Are you sure it's PS2?

    The ATI is supported to my knowledge, so I'm not sure generic is the best
choice. As long as you're sure it's supported by the SVGA server. Plus, are
you using the SVGA server? You should have an /etc/X11/Xserver file that looks
something like this:

[msoulier@lupus msoulier]$ cat /etc/X11/Xserver
/usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA
Console
