Every other PS2 mouse that I have ever used has been a no-brainer to get
going. From what I have read on Google, mouse functions are driver
modules in 2.4, but in 2.6, mouse functions are embedded in the Kernel.
Apparently, with certian pointing devices (i. e. some touchscreens and
this particular mouse) this has been a problem with 2.6 that some have
overcome with disabling that part of the kernel and porting in the
modules from 2.4. I don't know how to do that and am trying to
determine if I want to bother learning that right now. I may just cut
my losses and give up on these mice. They were cheap enough that it
wouldn't be that much of a loss.
