On the other hand, X could be relying on gpm to produce mouse data in /dev/gpmdata. Look in /etc/X/XF86Config-4 if /dev/gpmdata is mentioned in the mouse section.

Any clues as to > what that was appreciated. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-[your xserver] will probably do the trick. "xfree86" is a good candidate for being your xserver.
