I just had this problem this weekend. Running a logitech marble on a
serial port worked perfect with "Microsoft" However changing it to
the pms0 somehow required the MouseMan or MouseSystems (cant remember
which). I have found X's interpretation of mice to be totally
unpredictable, and now whenever booting a new mouse.. I just start at
the top of the list and try them all.
