		     I think your problem lies here, but If I am wrong
		     please feel free to correct me.  Your Xconfig file
		     should contain the line:
		     Busmouse         /dev/mouse
		     and comment out your baud setting.  The microsoft
		     setting the way i understand it is for serial
		     mice.
