I should have said that if you are letting debconf manage your 
configuration then it will remember all your previous configuration 
answers and you will just have to press Enter or occasionally Tab 
Enter to keep your other configuration answers.

Except that he manually commented out the BusID line in XF86Config-4, so 
now debconf will no longer modify that file until he does the stuff at 
the top of the file.

At this point, it might just be easier to manually modify the 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

If you're running gpm (does the mouse move in the text console? if so, 
then yes, you're running gpm), configure it to repeat the data as "ms3", 
and then configure XF86Config-4 to read from /dev/gpmdata and use the 
appropriate protocol (which I believe should be "Intellimouse" instead 
of the "ImPS/2" protocol as listed below (I'm doing non-standard things)).

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
