IF your Knoppix is on your Hardrive (full install) copy the section where your 
mouse settings are in /etc/X11/XF86config-4 from your working debian 
installation into your knoppix one; this is how my entry looks:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "ButtonNumber" "3"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/psaux"
  Option       "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "imps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I had some touchpad problems, but this fixed them.

If you run Knoppix from a CD, it loads into a RAM drive... and you have what, 
64 Megs?... I ran Knoppix from a desktop with 128 Megs and was slow, but it 
runs pretty fast on my laptop with 512 megs... and I liked so much that I 
erased my SuSE 8.1 install, and replaced it with a Knoppix-debian install... 
and works great.
