Mouse Trouble

I recieved a new Mouse as a christmas gift.

It works fine under X when I use the MouseSystems protocol and ClearDTR but I can't get iit to work in console-mode or under qwcl (quake world client)  (using svga-lib with MouseSystem and ClearDTR in /etc/libvga.conf)

Can someone help me get the mouse to work???

I'ts a serial Mouse. It works with MouseSystems under X when i enable ClearDTR. Under DOS I can run it in MouseSystems mode or as a Microsoft Mouse. But I can't get it to work in MouseSystem mode under Linux (console mode and svgalib, Under X it works)
I like to use the third buttom, (It's bad to play squake (svga quake) withoute the third button.

Thanks. I missed the -o dtr flag. It seems to work under svga-lin also after changing this (I thought it would be enough to set MouseSyste3ms and clear dtr in libvga.conf.
The strange thing is that al my buttons started to work under console when i chosed Microsoft (But not in svga lib). But now everything works. Thanks!
