Did you configure the mouse specifically with XF4? Because they changed
that section from 3.3.*. XF4's xf86config (or whatever) does NOT SET IT UP
CORRECTLY. 

Here's what it looks like for my Logitech Mouseman+ Wheel or whatever. you
might have to change the 'buttons' thing.

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
    Option  "Buttons"       "6"
    Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"   
#    Option "SampleRate"        "150"

EndSection


Please let us know how X4.0 works for you. I found that it was lacking
DPMS and Shape extentions, two things I can't live without. Too bad, cause
it WAS fast. I think xlockmore-17alpha02 _can_ do dpms on X4.0.


HTH,
