Hi Pinecone,
It would help if you gave us some details. Which Debian are you running, how
your mouse is connected (ps2?, usb? serial?) etc. I'm using 2.6.12 Etch
(now with Xorg not XFree86) with a PS2 optical mouse and scrollwhell and
the xorg.conf file looks like this:
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
Cheers,
