I have my ATI-busmouse running under at least linux 0.98pl1 pl3 and
pl4. I didn't have any bigger problem using the mouse.
It is correct that the kernel detects an Microsoft and a ATI-XL
busmouse. It's just the same for me.
Check out if your mouse device has the correct Major and Minor device
number. It should be 10 and 2 as stated in the README file. Check if
your Xconfig contains the correct entry for your mouse.
At least there may be a problem with your interrupt. In default the kernel
uses IRQ 5 (with the kernel distributed with SLS). This interupt may be
used by some other device (LPT2 for instance). If so the Kernel keeps track
which interrupt is used and does not allow the mouse device to use the same
interrupt when X is started. If this is your problem then you have to change
the interrupts and to recompile the kernel.
Hope this helps
