Are you running gmp (the textmode mouse daemon, forget the name, moused
makes more sense to me ;). Try turning that off. Sorry, not familiar
with any mice but generic 2 and 3 button serial and PS/2 mice. If you
could supply your dmesg, perhaps I could give more advice.
I prefered dselect at first, but after a while I forgot about it.
Read the manpages for apt & dpkg, and you'll find they can do everything
dselect does, because dselect is just a front end to those tools.
Because they are small, textmode tools, you can say, log what is
happening, or some such other nonsense.
