Mouse not working in X

[Agilio]

I have slackware 8.1 and my usb opitcal mouse (2 buttons, wheel, logitech) works in the console. The pointer doesn't move (or register clicks) in GNOME or X. I disabled gpm but... that is to no avail...

I will reply with my /etc/X11/XF86Config mouse section.... brb

[Agilio]

Section "inputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

in console, do:

# cat /dev/mouse

when you move the mouse does it print anything to the screen? If not, then you mouse is not /dev/mouse.

If it does then protocol is probably wrong. Try changing it to :

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

try /dev/input/mouse0 thats what slack registeres my usb exlorer as.
