your post is very uninformative. how exactly does it not work? what have
you done to configure X and your mouse? what kind of mouse do you have?

as an educated guess, you most likely chose the wrong mouse driver. try
figuring out (through google for example) which driver you need and make
the necessary modifications in /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

What lines do you have in /etc/X11/XF86Config for your mouse? You should
have something like:

Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

in the mouse section. Try to configure X with "xf86cfg -textmode", if you
like to configure X with a menu interface.
