Question Using a USB Mouse with Slack 9

I just installed Slackware 9.0, and I'm trying to get an USB Logitech optical mouse to work. I see under xf86cfg where I can select "intellimouse" or "logitech" although neither of these seem to work. I am an extreme newbie, so please answer this accordingly.

Please help,

DZ-5

Hiya DZ-5

in xf86config choose IMPS/2 then edit your XF86Config file under the input section like this:

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" /dev/mouse (might be /dev/psaux whereever your mouse is is what goes here)
Option "Resolution" "300"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"
