Are you running 1.4. If so then press a single key and the mouse should 
come to life. This was fixed in current but I don't know if it was 
pulled into the stable branch for the 1.4.1 release.

To set the X server screen resolution/colour depth you need to use 
setvideo. This is not part of the standard distribution but you can download
the source from:
