Well... Here's what the atixlmouse.c file has:
#define ATIXL_MOUSE_IRQ 5 /* H/W interrupt # set up on ATIXL board */
#define ATIXL_BUSMOUSE 3 /* Minor device # (mknod c 10 3 /dev/bm) */
#define ATIXL_MSE_DATA_PORT 0x23d
#define ATIXL_MSE_SIGNATURE_PORT 0x23e
#define ATIXL_MSE_CONTROL_PORT 0x23c
This looks like the secondary address to me. 0x23c is what shows in the
program, the other being 0x23f. Check to see what the program says and
either change it there or modify the kernel code (I'd reprogram the card
myself... <eg>) But the device is /dev/atibm (under slackware),
major/minor of 10/3...
Dunno, maybe someone should fix the code so it autoprobes? Or are there
just too few people out there with ATI cards that come with mice...? At
least some kind of documentation would be in order, though where it should
go escapes me... linux/Documentation/atimouse.txt?

atixlmouse.c has:
printk("Bus mouse detected and installed.\n");
