Side note: afaik for 2.6.x kernels, using /dev/mouse should work for all pointing devices (thus should be recommended for all use?). I think you could choose a USB mouse in xsetup to test it.

Well, I do not remember anymore, if I really had the same ps2-mouse attached, when I did some tests with DSL 4.
Possibly I had an usb-mouse attached.

But some minutes ago, I have tested this ps2-mouse again with Knoppix 5.1.1.
There it is working without any problem.

What is the difference?
Could it be a newer kernel?
Or other interrupt-handling or whatever?

Let us know when you're clear what you've done or not done and then we can tell you if there's a difference. Comparing DSL and Knoppix is irrelevant: two very different distros.
