[ale] Fresh Gentoo Install :) Getting Closer, but mouse won'twork

[Dow Hurst]

Nathan,
This is from my XF86Config file.  My mouse was not the default mouse so 
note the Mouse[3].  Also, I had a GE 5 button two wheel mouse plugged in 
instead of what you have.  However, the IMPS/2 driver works for 5 button 
devices.  Your syntax is a bit off.  /dev/pointer0 was linked to the 
SuSE 8.1 USB device for mouse input.  The second button never worked.  
Hope this helps,
Dow
