That's a MacX mouse. I have one; all you need to do is to build a
custom kernel with a small patch to handle it. I don't remember the
URL to the patch, but it has been mentioned on the LinuxPPC lists in
the past and you should be able to find it in the archives. IIRC, the
patch has been cleaned up to apply to 2.2.12.
