impotent mouse; was /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Squeeze

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

X now has a driver for the i810 video.  
Still the mouse pointer can range over the 
leftmost 2/3 of the screen only and no mouse 
click produces any visible result.  No error 
EE is reported in Xorg.0.log and no warning 
WW appears relevant.

Google "site:x.org AutoAddDevices" finds this.
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2009-September/047287.html
   Option   "AutoEnableDevices"   "false"
      
If this setting is made in xorg.conf, there 
is no mouse cursor.  If the setting is 
   Option   "AutoEnableDevices"   "true"
the behaviour is as described above; the cursor 
moves over the leftmost 2/3 of the screen only 
and the buttoms are inactive.

Which is more likely here---a mouse problem 
or a display driver problem?  Any more specific 
suggestions for repair?

Thanks,           ... Peter E.
