does your kernel have support for ps/2 mice?
what about reconfiguring X11, deleting mice's sections and replace it with:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
and...don't worry. i've had lots of trouble with my mouse on debian. but it
does work not :)
regards,
patrick
