Debconf X config doesnt offer mouse protocol choices



I think I should be using "Intellimouse" or "Auto" for my usb mouse however
debconf doesnt offer me the option.

The relevant section in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is :

Name: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol
Template: xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol
Value: ImPS/2
Owners: xserver-xfree86
Flags: seen
Variables:
 choices = ImPS/2

On another machine I have a full range of choices listed, and ImPS/2 isnt one of 
them. Is it ok to just edit this file and put the proper list in or is there
some way of fixing it properly?

I tried:
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xfree86 --purge
but it didnt help

Alan
