Mouse/tablet

Suse 11.1: I am having difficulties getting my tablet function to work on my Gateway C-140x, as well as getting my Razer DeathAdder to work. I have been doing various configurations and installations, and I think it was just after a Suse update that my mouse stopped working. It was fine up to that point, and when I go and check the "activate this pointer" checkbox in sax2, and when I save and exit sax, then open it back up, the checkbox is unchecked. The same issue occurs with my tablet function, I try and change the serial input(hoping, but not knowing, that one of them will work), but it doesn't save anything I do. I've tried editting xorg.conf, but that doesn't seem to do anything productive. ALSO, the mouse works when I run in failsafe, haven't tried messing with much else in failsafe though. Any suggestions?
-Much appreciated.

EDIT
when I try and test the sax2 configuration for the tablet, I press test and it just closes.

Start near the beginning. Does any usb device work?
What is your chipset? Have you uhci_hcd, ohci_hcd & ehci_hcd in 'lsmod?' You should have 2, not the three.

Post your xorg conf mouse section and we'll have a laugh :-)

Other USB devices work, like flashdrives, I'll post the xorg.conf below, but I'm not sure what you are talking about as far as the hcd's. Thanks for the reply though, hope this helps.

Okay, you have a synaptics mouse, a wacom tablet. I don't see a driver in your mouse section. Here's mine. Try that.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Notice the Driver line.

I see thi8s in Xorg.0.log
