If you can get to a console, try running the following command, it has
been helpful to me in a lot of cases.
#xf86cfg
To have this command available, you need the package called "xbase-clients".
If it works correctly (hopefully!) you will see a display come up with a
weird thatched background in black-and-white which gives headache if you
look at it continously : ) Then use the numpad keys to "Quit" (Lower
right of windows which opens up) and it will ask you to save the file.
Save it to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 . Mail the list back if you get this
far and we'll see what we can do about the mouse, scroll button etc.
(Assuming that I was able to help you at all!
