I tried this. I caught the stuff about  using the full command line, did
no tricks or fiddles, and the mouse behaved perfectly. I could enter
graph mode, cover something, right click, select properties, and
everything worked fine. I'd need instructions or a file to put the
program through any paces, though.

My system is FC5, with a usb optical mouse. In my experience, issues
with a mouse that works are usually the protocol. I have this in
xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

2.6 kernels are also intolerant of older mouse types, I find.
