are you using the GENERIC kernel from the ftp server?  if so, i think they
disabled the pms0 mice devices in that kernel.  i have the M$ mouse, a
bus mouse, and i use pms0, my mouse didn't work in X the first time when
i boot my machine up with the generic kernel after the upgrade, so i recompiled
to kernel and it works...

hope this helps!

btw, anyone knows if it is possible to get the mouse to work in a text terminal?  
(like virtual consoles, pc3)

... But as records of courts and justice are admissible, it can
easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed
and were a scourge to mankind.  The evidence (including confession)
upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was
without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable.  The judges' decisions based
on it were sound in logic and in law.  Nothing in any existing court
was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and
sorcery for which so many suffered death.  If there were no witches,
human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.
