hey Arpit,
Kernels released in sarge are unlikely to be updated for reasons other
than security, and other critical bug fixes. Can you possibly check a
later kernel, such as the linux-2.6.12 in testing, and see if its fixed
there?
Some other information that might be helpful:
Is your mouse USB, ps2, etc?
What's the output of dmesg after a boot w/ this mouse connected?
What does your XF86Config file look like?
