According to the Xorg.0.log a wrong protocol seems to be specified in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
(**) Option "Protocol" "10 xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol doesn't exist"
(EE) Configured Mouse: Unknown protocol "10 xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol doesn't exist"
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Configured Mouse"

Just drop those lines, there's no need to specify the protocol or port anymore. The bug was in failsafe mode, and has been fixed already but not uploaded to hardy. You can also just run 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg', although it might fail again to start X, but it would be nice to know why it failed in the first place.

I just ran the command you suggessted: 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and not only does the mouse work but my screen resolution that was limited now is correct.

Ok, that's good. I'd still like to know why it drops in the failsafemode.. Could you boot from the livecd and attach the xorg.conf (before failsafe messes it up) and Xorg.0.log.old (the one that didn't work)?

I just rebooted and the screen and mouse were not working again. I repeated the dpkg-reconfigure command and it still did not work. Then, i went to shutdown and some screen came up that i have never seen asking if i would like to try to reconfigure X server. I selected it and then the login screen and mouse was back to being correct again. I do not have a live CD since i used the alternative CD to install the system. If you like I can download the liveCD version a do what you ask. Let me know what you would like me to do.

doesn't look like a bug in the driver.
