Don't worry about that.  Unless you want to use the Radeon 128
acclerated server.

Yep, or where ever your mouse device is.  You'll have to edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and edit this section.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

change the "Device" line to point to your mouse device.  And change
the "Protoc0l" to whatever is approprate.  Try the default first and
if it doesn't work, take a peak at the follow webpage:

http://www.xfree86.com/current/mouse.html

You may want to take this whole section out of it's current place and
place it up top, before the debconf controlled section.  This should
keep things from getting rewritten everytime things get upgraded.  But
I could be wrong.  Some one want to correct me on this one?

Good luck.
