Ok But what if the mouse works on on USB - usb connected mouse
But all it does is moves Up and down when moving the mouse. No left to right action!. However the mouse does move to the right when either mouse buttom is pushed

I have a usb mouse, not the same model, but I'll post what my xorg.conf file says to see if any of it helps you.

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Ok so as of so far i have tried mouseconfig = NO GO!.. only option that mouse works @ all is with USB- Option.

Tried Editing xorg.conf
Still no luck after playing in .conf file for about 1 hour the mouse will not go in the horizontal direction only Virtical direction

are you running 2.4 or 2.6?

if you chose 2.6 in the installer, make sure it has its modules in /lib/modules/2.6.x

if not , you wont have any drivers

as long as you have udev enabled too, the mouse should just appear as /dev/mouse, and you can set it up easily using xorg.conf

my usb mouse works perfectly.
