You might check the Debian Mail archives for the past couple of months;
there's been quite a bit of discussion about mice and X lately. For a
short answer (but perhaps unsatisfactory in the long run), disable gpm
if you have it running, and in XF86Config specify that your mouse is on
"/dev/psaux" and that the protocol is set to "PS/2".
As for the SVGA server, I get this on startx:
X: exec of usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA failed
_X11TranSocketUNIXConnect: can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: connection refused (errno 111) unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error
So, I've checked, and the SVGA server exists where it should. I've gone into
the XF86config file, but don't really know what to look for! I would really
appreciate some advice.

Since the "exec" of XF86_SVGA "failed", it may be a permissions problem
on that file. Mine's set to:
rwxr-xr-x root root
It could also be a corrupted file (not particularly likely). You might
try reinstalling it.
