Slackware 10.2 with Kernal 2.6.13 has the exact same mouse configuration
and modules that Slackware 10.2 with Kernal 2.4.31 has, so it should work.

Instead of choosing 2.6.13 during install, try choosing 2.4.31 and
then upgrading to 2.6.13 once the system is up and running.

i tried 2 way :

boot with test26.s
choose image kernel test26 from cd1 (NOT vmlinuz)
at first reboot (with all warning because i have not 2.6.13 modules ...
and mouse not work for example) i install modules from
cd2 /linux-2.6.13/kernel-modules......
reboot again and all work

or

install modules from cd2 before choose image kernel

usual i prefer use
upgradepkg --install-new rather then installpkg
so all 2.4 modules erased
