Yes, both configs the ones that work for X and the ones that don't
have been posted in the last 2 hours or so. Maybe a little longer by
now.
One further point here:
Concerning the validity of the hardware itself. Where this debian
install now resides, there was a redhat 7.1 basic system (no X)
installed.
Using all the same hardware, that system came up with a working mouse
as soon as the install was complete. This is not to compare OS's or
say who's better or any of that bunk. But it should indicate the
hardware isn't at fault here.
