Hi!

I had the same problem, and I figured out two things:
- Sometimes the mouse is confused and imps2 init will fail if I do not
send a reset to it.
- moving the mouse before, or during initialization will make it fail.

The attached patch solved all my problems, so can try it, but this is not
official :)

I didn't want to send it yet to the list, but you asked for it :).
