All right, this explain a lot of mis-understand things i found
on the net (same parms working for one and not for others)

Ok, that's what i found. But, why X choose ps/2 when "Protocol"
is set to "Auto" ?
I'm afraid that informations about "Protocol" "sysmouse" are very
difficult to find. I did not on my side, not even on the net nor
on the FreeBSD or X documentations.

Sorry, it was the previous version of my log file.
(always difficult to write a summary with a lot of pieces)
Perhaps a mobo pb., or a forgot of mine, no matter to worry about that.
I'm sometimes "Aemnesiac" too ... :o)
Many thanks Ted for your tips. i hope that the whole thing will be
interesting for others, sheding a light on this stuff.
Just a little thing - to be clean - i found after posting :
2. Parameters
/etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "InputDevice"
# All parms according to previous posts and ...
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "Off"
EndSection
