OK...we finally got it figured out. This is what we did.... we ran the X -configure to create the /root/XF86Configure.new and then tweaked the video card driver from "ati" to "fbdev". This gave us video display with no mouse action. We then tweaked pointer from Protocol "auto" to "IMPS/2". This worked and we now have Xserver with display and usb mouse on G3 running Debian 2.4.16 and XF86 4.2.0.
Thanks for the help.

Try copying the section Subsection "Display" > Depth 16 > Modes "800x600" "640x480" > ViewPort 0 0 > EndSubsection beneath the first Subsection , change Depth to 24 and set DefaultDepth to 24. lemme know if it worked.
