Ah... both. :^)

I'll give it a shot and get back to the list.

Yes, I meant imps2, I was running from memory. Organic compression is
lossy.
However, this is interesting:
# ps aux | grep gpm
root 2704 0.0 0.0 1720 276 ? Ss Jun20
0:00 /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2
# gpm -t help | grep exps2
exps2 (ExplorerPS/2) - IntelliMouse Explorer (ps2) - 3 buttons (wheel
is repeated).
So gpm is being started with an option that lists an explicit wheel.
However, changing this to ps2 and other things with "dpkg-reconfigure
gpm" made no difference in X, however, it did make the mouse stop
working on the console. So obviously it's something specifically to
do with the X configuration.
The console shows no indication that the area of the touchpad that is
acting as a scroll wheel under X is any different from the rest of
the pad, another indication to me that it's something explicitly to
do with X.
> Though the names are from gpm they should match names used by X11,

Yes, well, one of the things I tried was "synps2" with gpm for the
Synaptics touch pad, and that didn't work in the console at all. X
kept right on working through it all, with the wheel.
As I said, let me mess with the xorg.conf a few times, maybe in the
morning, since right now I don't want to restart X a dozen times
trying things out.
