I'm certainly interested in finding this out myself. Like you, I've
had no luck.

Pretty much the same mouse here. Mine's not cordless, but it is
optical. I saw the same results with the protocols as you.
MouseManPlusPS/2, as suggested by the docs for XFree86 do *not*
work. Certainly no scrolling ability. Also, as I seem to recall, the
mouse was in fact unusable. It would jump from one side of the
screen to the other... menus would occasionally appear...

As mentioned above, I have the same results. Should the XFree86
people be made aware of this ?? Chances are though, that it worked
for *them* and that's why they printed it...
