PS2 mouse problems Mandrake 10.0

[catman]

I have a Genius "PowerScroll Eye PS2" mouse which I do not seem to be able to get working under Mandrake 10.0.

Under hardware it show as a universal "Any PS/2 & USB mice" no matter what I try I do not seem to be able to change it.
The mouse does not work properly and seems to have a mind of it's own.

Even when during the instalation it would not detect correctly. When I shut the machine down and connect an old "Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1A PS/2 Compatable" the mouse then seems to work fine with the settings.(The wheel and buttons work as they are supposed to)

I am at wit's end on how to resolve this!

Here is my XF86Config-4 file I hope that this will be of some help.:confused:

does mandrake have some sort of mouse configurator?

my XF86Config has regarding my mouse
Identifier "DevInputMice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"

and in /dev i have /dev/mouse and /dev/input/mouse (neither are sim links pointing to the other) ... i've never seen /dev/mouse used on any of my systems (one which ran mandy 10)

hayl has a great post here (http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117016) that i suggest you look at.

hope this helps

Which version of mandrake 10 are you using? I had the EXACT same problem with mandrake10 beta; the one before community. with community and mandrake10 official I've never had that problem again. I also have a PS2 mouse(KEIO) and tried to do several fresh installs in hopes it would be working on subsequent attempts.
From what I've seen of mandrake so far(and I started using it with 9.2) its seems to have problems "remembering" config settings for different things, I've had problems with soundcard, wireless card and even printer settings quite frequently. My latest adventure was with wireless on my girlfriends laptop. I was able to configure the card but rebooting erased eth1 every time. 10-beta was doing the same thing with soundcard and mouse. I would get these going and then on reboot, nothing. Hmm...
