play with this in /etc/XF86Config

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "PS/2"
   Device          "/dev/mouse"
   BaudRate        1200
 # Buttons         3
 # ChordMiddle
 # Emulate3Timeout 50
 # Emulate3Buttons
EndSection

I suppose the default is to have 3 buttons since mine is working and this
is my configuration.. maybe is that you have a wrong protocol..

I have ps/2 but my mouse uses imps/2 

It is very usefull too to use /dev/gpmdata and let gpm to work as a
repeater (this way you can have more than one mouse)..

$ ls -l /dev/mouse 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Jan 20 07:46 /dev/mouse ->
gpmdata
