So maybe you try to provide one.

The problems is about your mouse. Your XF86Config seems to be pretty fscked
up, how did you do that?


[ snip first part of XF86Config ]

You are using the wrong protocol.

You are using the wrong device.

No wonder it doesn't work.. ;)

Please replace your "InputDevice" Section in your XF86Config with the following
snipplet:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "Configured Mouse"
    Driver        "mouse"
    Option        "CorePointer"
    Option        "Device"        "/dev/amigamouse"
    Option        "Protocol"        "BusMouse"
EndSection


PS: add

Option        "NoInt10"

to your "Device" section (that's where you put the glint and BusID stuff in),
you don't need it (it may only cause problems).
