Marked this bug as the duplicate as the other bug has more "meat" in the
comments.
To sum things up, the mouse is seen as a touchpad, and the X loads the
"synaptics" driver instead of the correct "evdev" one.
I will test some workarounds for it on Sunday, if you are in a hurry,
the possible solutions are:
A) Remove the package "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics".
If that is not possible (because it requires to uninstall all f Xorg),
B) Comment part of the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
Replace
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using
the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->
<!-- EXAMPLE:
<merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">120</merge>
-->
</match>
With
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<!--
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
-->
<!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using
the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->
<!-- EXAMPLE:
<merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">120</merge>
-->
</match>
Will comment back on the main bug.
