Yes, me too. Bad news on that front. I've reinstalled completely
twice since this report. I decided to reinstall when after all the
tinkering with mouse, I tired to return to square one with my saved
original config files and could not get X or console working. Not
only the mouse but worse. X would come up. Then I'd get one tiny
mouse motions in. Maybe 1/2 inch and freezo. Couldn't even get a vt
or use C-A <BS> to get out. Fortunately I had a ssh terminal started
on another machine and could kill stuff or reboot.
Now on the second try. Still loading down software with a net
install. I'll report back when I get it running.

I didn't try that no. Did you recommend it? I didn't catch it if you
did .. sorry.

Can't answer that last part.
I did do one thing that may not have been reported. I said
cat /dev/psaux and watched all the guff on screen while moving the
mouse. Maybe that nails it down a little better.
Sorry to be so flakey here, with reinstalls but, getting desperate for
a working setup.
