Hi again,
what is actually the problem?
- The (external usb) mouse does not move the pointer at all
- or -
- Just the button mapping is wrong?

Thanks for the reply!
This is what my section looks like. We have the same except the Identifier part.
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection
Hmm what else could I look for? Is this a problem in KDE or am I having something really weird on my hands?

have you told X11 that it should use multiple mice?

Hint: to use a non-default layout like this you must start X with:
startx -- -layout usb
Or if you have X always running (like with xdm/kdm/...) you can test the layout first by switching to a console (CTRL-ALT-F2), then log in, then:
telinit 3 # to go to runlevel 3 (multiuser without xdm/kdm) startx -- -layout usb The X11 error messages are then saved to ~/.X.err , take a look.
To go back to 'normal' terminate the X11 server (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE) and
telinit 5 # to go to runlevel 5 (multiuser with xdm/kdm)

I've tried editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I've tried xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12" and neither works. SuSe control center isn't of much help either.
Anyone have any idea what to do?
I use a MS Wheel Mouse Optical (USB). Computer is Compaq EVO n600c.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf (mouse related part) looks like this:
Section "InputDevice" Driver "synaptics" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "Synaptics;Touchpad" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "USB-Mouse;ExplorerPS/2 on USB" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
Any help much appreciated.
