It looks like I do not have gpm running - although I don't remember turning it
off and it looks like init.d says it should start - just too lazy to look into
it.
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
My mouse section looks like:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

gpm is not installed. Do you know where the XF86Config file is at? I
forgot.
