I had that same problem last night.

IN /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Find the line that says:
	Option 	"Protocol"   "<Something>"

Try using a different protocol and then restart X.

Option "Protocol" "string"
    Specify the mouse protocol. Valid protocol types include:

Auto, Microsoft, MouseSystems, MMSeries, Logitech, MouseMan, MMHitTab, GlidePoint, IntelliMouse, ThinkingMouse, AceCad, PS/2, ImPS/2, ExplorerPS/2, ThinkingMousePS/2, MouseManPlusPS/2, GlidePointPS/2, NetMousePS/2, NetScrollPS/2, BusMouse, SysMouse, WSMouse, USB, Xqueue.

Not all protocols are supported on all platforms. The "Auto" platform specifies that protocol auto-detection should be attempted. There is no default protocol setting, and specifying this option is mandatory.


I changed mine from "IMPS/2" to "Intellimouse" last night and it fixed my USB wireless Microsoft Wheel Intellimouse Explorer.

-Ben.
