And probably you need kernel support for bus mouse.  I don't remember does it
present in standerd Debian's kernel package (I always recompile kernel myself :).
Check /boot/config-*.

I've also noticed that if you use both GPM and X, than it's better to run
GPM with -R option and use /dev/gpmdata fifo as mouse device in XF86Config
(with MouseSystems protocol).  See GPM manual for details.
