Sympathies at least.  Same problem here, on a Sparc 10 with same Debian 
release, type 5C keyboard, type 4 mouse.  Worse problems with Solaris 8 
install (attempting to install dual-boot) - literally the keyboard screamed 
during boot when the mouse was installed.

Since the mouse worked with a type 4 keyboard on another machine, I am 
hypothesizing three causes: (1) perhaps type 4 mice and type 5C keyboards 
don't mix well, (2) perhaps software that sees a type 5 keyboard assumes a 
type 5 mouse, or (3) perhaps the optical grid is wrong.  I've seen meshes with 
two different spacings.  The one I used with the other machine was coarser.
