I had a similar problem. I found that when i used the
x config gui, it messed up some mouse related stuff in
/etc/Xf86config.
so i just manually changed the file.
To find out what i needed to change, i kept a copy of
my working config file. then used the gui to make the
changes i wanted. I took these specific changes from
the modified file, and copied them to my original
file, making sure i kept all the former mouse info.
[for the record, this was when i was using SuSE
6.4/kernel 2.2.14]
hope it helps...
