Make sure the Modes line (down towards the end of XF86Config) lists
the high-resolution modes before the low-resolution modes; the
xf86config program writes them out in the wrong order. You can use
ctrl-alt-plus and ctrl-alt-minus to cycle through video modes.

What kind of mouse do you have? Generally, there are two best guesses
are:
For a serial mouse:
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/tty00"
For a bus mouse:
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/pms0"
