startx not starting X and mouse wheel not wheeling

[Charles Lewis <lewisc@delta.swau.edu>]

I had X (XFree86 4.0.2)working fine until I started trying to get my
IntelliMouse wheel to work. I even tried running xf86config again. When I
startx it attempts to load but fails with no error messages. The last few
lines after it attempts:

...
(**) Mouse1: Protocol: "IMPS/2"
(**) Mouse1: Core Pointer
(==) Mouse1: Buttons: 3
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" 9type: MOUSE)
#

And that's it no errors but no X either.

Incidentally, how do you get the (IntelliMouse) wheel to work? (mouse is
currently working under gpm)

In gpm.conf I have:
  device=/dev/psaux
  responsiveness=
  repeat_type=
  type=imps2
  append=""
  sample_rate=

In the mouse section of XF86Config-4 I have:
  Identifier         "Mouse1"
  Driver             "mouse"
  Option "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"
  Option "Device"    "/dev/gpmdata"
  
Before I ran xf86config, I had added the lines:
  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  Option "Buttons"      "5"

And I may have been using the IntelliMouse protocol as well. I can't
remember, I tried too many things. What should it be?

Inquiring minds wish there was an XFree86 4 HOW-TO for debian.
