what type of mouse do you have ?
I have a Logitech optical wheel mouse and it works fine under 2.4.20

Read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse for how to configure your X server.

Hi all, I've Googled with the optical mice problem with Xserver ,and that leads me to:
usb optical mice have no probelms with X, they work smoothly
PS/2 optical mice have a movement problem called "Resolution" problem.
to correct this problem i've opened my XF86Config file and added the Resolution option with value = 300 like this

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Resolution" "300"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
of course you can change 300 to fit your mouse
