Did you already try the option "/o" to disable the mouse wheel
detection? Some BIOSes seem to have a bug here. They first let
ctmouse detect the wheel, but then fail when trying to activate
the wheel-extended data protocol. Version 2.1b3 supports /O but
older 2.1 variants might be without /o support. By the way, did
you also try version 2.0 already? :-)
