Thanks for the reply.
It's a standard PS/2 mouse with a scroll wheel.
The mouse works fine under Windows XP(dual boot system) and when I cat
/dev/input/mice and move the mouse, I get the random characters. The
system is a cheapo MicroCenter PowerSpec, but I've had it running Linux
and X successfully in the past. As a matter of fact, I installed Ubuntu
on it the other day just to see if everything worked under Ubuntu and it
did. X and the mouse worked fine.
Very frustrating how much trouble I've been having with this.
Any other ideas.

You could take the working /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 file of ubuntu and place
it in debian, that should work
Alternatively, if you want to learn what the problem is, you can compare
the two versions of the files and either edit it manually or answer the
questions of dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (or dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg I think?) with the help of the correct contents of the
ubuntu version
The second route may sound a bit too long to solve the problem, but
it'll help you understand that configuration file better :-)
HTH,
Joris
