Mine works perfectly (I have the VGA Wonder/XL).
ls -l /dev/bmouseatixl # Can't remember if I picked this name or
# found it in a release
# - just make sure the entry in Xconfig
# - coincides
crw-rw-rw- 2 bin bin 10, 3 Dec 12 15:48 /dev/bmouseatixl
# the major/minor numbers are the important things here (10, 3)
# Try "ls -l /dev | fgrep '10,'" and find the entry that has minor device

When you configure the kernel (with "make config"), make sure you select the
ATI mouse (hmmm ... you have the SLS release, I presume the ATI driver is
in there and that it doesn't conflict with the others).
Then, in /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig I have (among other things):
Busmouse "/dev/bmouseatixl"
I think that's it (email me if you think I left something out, or
you still can't get it to work).
