Open a Konsole and login as root.
Issue "mouseconfig" and select USB connected mouse.
Restart the X server. KDE menu, restart computer.

Did this mouse work properly on Ubuntu?

If so, you just need the same settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I use a few wireless USB mice. On this box I have:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver
# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:
#    Option     "Protocol"      "Auto"
# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS0"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS1"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
#    Option "Protocol"  "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
#    Option "BaudRate"          "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"        "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
#    Option "ChordMiddle"
    Identifier     "Mouse1"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4  5"
# The mouse device.  The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
    Option         "Device" "/dev/mouse"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
On other boxen I think I've used
Code:
Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
You also will need the usbhid module. Issue "lsmod | grep -i usb"
to see which USB modules are loading.

And may I ask why you installed Slackware-10.1? The present stable
version is 10.2, and 11.0 is soon to be released.

Make these changes to your Slackware xorg.conf file:
Code:
# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
#    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
     Option	"Protocol"	"ExplorerPS/2"
     Option	"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"

# The mouse device.  The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
#    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS0"
#   Option "Device"      "/dev/ttyS1"
and I think it will work just fine.

You might also want to issue "lsmod | grep -i usb" in a
terminal (or konsole) to see which USB modules are loading.

It does work, as the wireless technology is transparent to the OS.

I have a Microsoft wireless optical mouse 4000. I just installed it as always and never gave me any problem, ever. In fact, the configuration that I used for X is the very same as Chinaman's post. As it's the same configuration that I had for an good 'ol Microsoft optical trackball, it just worked for me without changing anything.

I wonder if you want it to get it working on X or in the CLI (with gdm)

Does the mouse work with GPM at the command line or does it also only move up and down?

Please post the output of "lsmod" and "dmesg | grep -i mouse"

You reported different options worked for Ubuntu, and I suggested
you use them in Slackware. However, you chose not to do so. Is
there some reason for that?

You will need to have the correct kernel modules loaded, and the
correct options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- just compare Slackware
to Ubuntu and make the appropriate changes. I have given you the
mouse information in post #7.

After you make these changes, reboot the computer. And then issue
the lsmod and dmesg commands and post the output here if it doesn't
work as it should.
