need help configuring usb

First my hardware: asus a7n8x mother board. I use gs-sources.
It is the usb-mouse MS intellimouse explorer 3.0 I want to get working.

In the kernel config I selected the following:
Input core support: M input core support, M mouse support, M event support
USB support: M ohci
under HID: M humar interface devce full hid, * HID input layer support, * /dev/hidden raw hid device support.

in /etc/modules.autoload I got the following:
usb-ohci
hid
input
mousedev

lsmod gives me the following output:
Module Size Used by Tainted: GF
floppy 47004 0 (autoclean)
8139too 14088 1
mii 2192 0 [8139too]
mousedev 3924 1
usb-storage 59980 0 (unused)
hid 13908 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 17216 0 (unused)
ehci-hcd 15104 0 (unused)
usbcore 55744 1 [usb-storage hid usb-ohci ehci-hcd]

At the end of /etc/X11/XF86Config file I got this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Resolution" "100"
EndSection

When I put my intellimouse into the usb-port, I can see from dmesg the following:
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 2

This is all I have done..When I try to log into KDE the screen fades black and the LED on my monitor starts blinking. Please help.

maybe you should take a look here:

If your monitor turns black... did it work before you changed the mouse? Otherwise i think you have an additional problem with your X configuration regarding the monitor timing/resolution settings.

Yes, when I use my ps2 dell mouse everything works perfect and I kan log onto kde without problems.
I have also tried having both my ps2 mouce and intellimouse usb connected at the same time, and then I can also log onto kde using my ps2 mouse.

I really want to make this work

hmmm, this is the output from dmesg after I have put my intellimouse into the usb port:

hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 2
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb-ohci.c: unlink URB timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=2 (error=-110)
hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-1, assigned address 3
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb-ohci.c: unlink URB timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110)

please help

When I boot linux with only Intellimouse USB I get a kernel panic and two leds on my keyboard start blinking. If I deselect ACPI, USB legacy keyboard and mouse support in BIOS, I don't get the kernel panic...even doing this doesn't make my mouce work.

I have also deselected ACPI in kernel config...

for my intellimouse i use the device /dev/usbmouse, not sure what the difference is between that and what you are already using though...

hmmm, the problem is that the usb device won't accept the adress it is given, I think

i dont know much about the nforce2 chipset boards, but are you positive that you should be using ohci and not uhci?? I would not think that you usb would work at all if you had the wrong module selected in the kernel. Also, have you tried plugging the mouse into different usb ports? I dont know about now, but it seems like older systems had some type of restrictions on certain ports running certain devices. I think it was related to supplying power to the device more than anything else.
