What type of mouse do you have?  If it is ps/2 use /dev/psaux
in /etc/X11/XF86Config for example -
Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "PS/2"
   Device          "/dev/psaux"                                                 

Also if it is jumping around try killing gpm the console mouse server
and see if that helps -
# /etc/init.d/gpm stop

If you want to run both at the same time there is lots of info on that
in the archives which can be searched at the deb web-site or
