It's a problem with the axis mapping in the pointing device section of the X11
config file. I had to change it when I first installed too as I got the same
behavior. Here is mine as it stands now.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
