1) There exists a package called 'gpm'.
2) Did you install it?
3) Which method of intallation did you use?
4) Did the intallation procedure ask anything about the configuration of
the gpm package? I think that it should have done so.
5) How to install it depends on your installation method. Basically it is
easiest to use afterwards apt or dselect. Just start
'dselect' and/or 'apt' again and look for gpm by 'Acces' -> 'Update' ->
'Select' and '/'
which produces: 'search for'. Answer 'gpm' and hit <enter>. Look at the
package if it is installed or not.
6) If it is installed OK, you should find in /usr/doc/gpm a file
called 'faq.gz'. Read that using a command 'most faq.gz' Maybe some of
these faqs suit to your situation. Read man gpm as well. Which kind of
mouse do you have? Start again XF86Setup.
7) If it isn't installed hit '+' and <enter> to install it. And try again
configuring... It depends on your mouse type, how to define it while
running XF86Setup. Mine is 'Logitech M-S 48' with that funny roller on the
midel button... it took quite a long time to find out that it must be
defined as /psaux...
