I've just installed the new X server and I can't get any mice to work.
I've tried a genius mouse with the mousesystems option and a logitech
mouse with logitech and neither work.

The server starts up prints the stippled background and the mouse cross
and then just sits there. The cross doesn't respond to the mouse and the
keyboard appears to be dead.  Any ideas?

My card is an Orchid Prodesigner.
