Hi,

this works for my logitech usb optical mouse, with kernel 2.4.18.

>From Osamu Aoki's Debian Reference (http://www.debian.org/doc), chapter 3.3:

 Make sure you have:
        * "Input Core Support" and "Input Core Support/Mouse Support"
          enabled in the kernel or as modules.
        * "Support for USB", "Preliminary USB device filesystem", "UHCI or
          OHCI", and "USB HID Support" enabled in the kernel or as modules.

	  For typical scroll _USB_ mice, configuration combinations should be:

          | /etc/X11/X86Config-4
          =========================+======================================
          | Section "InputDevice"
          |  Identifier "Generic Mouse"
          |  Driver     "mouse"
          |  Option     "SendCoreEvents" "true"
          |  Option     "Device"   "/dev/input/mice"
          |  Option     "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
          |  Option     "Buttons" "5"
          |  Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
          | EndSection
