In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you need

Code:

# **********************************************************************

# Core Pointer's InputDevice section

# **********************************************************************

<snip>

#    Option    "Protocol"      "Auto"



# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:

#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2

#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2

#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse

#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"  <- this is needed 

    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"  <- this is needed

It might be a different file on Debian. Try /etc/X11/XF86Config
or something like that.

EDIT: Hey, I remember you! Change your LQ UserCP to say Slackware rather than Debian!
