Sounds like a problem with your server.  
Suggestion:
  Install either the xserver-mono_3.1.2-5.deb or xserver-svga_3.1.2-5.deb
  Then bring up Netscape.
  Then use the Usenet search tool

  to find out what kinds of experiences other people have had with X and
  setups like yours.

Some Logitech (brand name) mice have PS/2 interfaces.  It sounds like yours
does.  You need to rebuild your kernel with PS/2 support in it.  You also
need to specify in your /etc/X11/XF86Config that your mouse is
a PS/2 mouse.
