If you want to use the mouse in text console and gpm package is
installed, run the following:
# dpkg-reconfigure gpm
If you want to use the mouse in X, run the following:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Both will show you a curses based UI to configure gpm and XFree86.
Note that if you use gpm, you must choose the gpm repeater as your
mouse.

# apt-get install xdm
You will then have to edit the config file under /etc/X11/xdm (I think).
