mouse configuration

Stupid question perhaps.. how do i configure the mouse? I've run XFree86 -configure.. but it cannot detect my mouse.. do i need to edit some configuration file somewhere? It's a microsoft intellimouse ps/2.

Sorry I realize that wasn't very descriptive. Specifically, I am trying to figure out how to get my mouse wheel working under X.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "Buttons" "3"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

This is what i have in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (or you may have named your XF86Config). You may not need the IMPS/2 unless your mouse is also optical.

download and install imwheel
see the readme on how to get the wheel working after you have installed imwheel. It isn't that hard

(meaning: sorry but I'm booted into XP and can't access my Xfconfig)

Thank you Sarah. I had forgotten about adding IMPS/2 to the XF86Config.
That worked perfectly.
