I have trouble getting my usb mouse working, i tried different methods based on my search here, but i couldnt make it work, here is my file, i did comment some lines that i did try but i couldnt run the startx command so i did disable them till i get some feedback, thanks in advance, i use slackware 10.2

At first glance I'd say you have too many "option" and "protocol" enabled in your file.
I would try something like

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
# Identifier "USB Mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

Option "Protocol" "Auto"

#Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" COMMENT OUT THIS

#Option "Buttons" "5" AND THIS

#Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" AND THIS

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
#Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" AND THIS

InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
# InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

If that works, then uncomment the ZAxisMapping line in order the wheel is enabled.
The Buttons line shouldn't be necessary.
Make sure you enabled HID devices in your kernel (either as modules).
If using a standard kernel they should
Hope this helps
Ciao

how do i do that?

I took this from my kernel 2.4.31 config file (standard or if you prefer what comes from slackware 10.2)

at some point at USB section

# USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=m *
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m *
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m *
CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK=m
CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m
CONFIG_USB_KBTAB=m
CONFIG_USB_POWERMATE=m

check by lsmod if occourencies (marked with *) are loaded

If you compiled the kernel from scratch make sure it is configured as above (for HID devices at least)

Ciao

thats what i found and i assume its ok, right?

# USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_KBD=m
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m
CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK=m
CONFIG_USB_WACOM=m
CONFIG_USB_KBTAB=m
CONFIG_USB_POWERMATE=m

Xorg is looking for your mouse in two different places.
/dev/mouse
/dev/input/mice

USB mice should easily be detected on /dev/input/mice
just comment line: /dev/mouse

thanks guys, but the scroll is not

Ok, here are the lines you need.

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Uncomment this lines, write the ones you don't have
and comment the unnecessary.

west.
