Heh.  Because the network card is not working under SuSE on this 
computer either, I'm going to transcribe this by hand:

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Identifer	"Mouse[1]"
	Option		"AutoSoft" "on"
	Option		"Device" "/dev/mouse"
	Option		"Name" "Autodetection"
	Option		"Protocol" "AUTO"
	Option		"Vendor" "Sysp"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
