New Mouse Install sans system-config-mouse

HI,
  I decided to upgrade my mouse to
an optical wheel mouse.  Shut down,
plug in, and reboot caused the crazy
mouse syndrome seen when the xorg.conf
file does not match the actual mouse.
  system-config-mouse does not work
on FC6, FC7T4, nor CentOS5.  Being
findrpm rpms for this package stop
at FC4, It appears support is being
dropped.
  Putting back the old mouse worked
fine.  My next plan of attack is to
disconnect the PS2 mouse connection
from the KVM and hope kudzu picks
up the change.  Then reboot with the
new mouse plugged directly in and hope
kudzu picks up the new mouse.
   I would then repeat this on the
FC7T4 box and the RH9 box and then
reassemble the KVM.  

  I am hoping that system-config-mouse
has been replaced by something just
as good that I have not found.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Bob S
