Help Please!!

[William Bradley <bradleyw@magma.ca>]

I have installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 rl "Woody" Official i386. The 
installation is not as graphic as some but it got the job done without a lot 
of trouble, except for one item. The mouse did not work. It is an off the 
shelf Logitech PS/2 mouse with a wheel. There is nothing wrong with the 
mouse, I tested it on the Windows, which will dual boot on the same machine.

This is the first time I have not been able to get a common or garden variety 
mouse to work on a linux OS and I have installed a whole variety of them over 
the years. Two members of this list have been very kind with their help but 
the problem is still there.

Following is my XF86Config-4 set up for the mouse:

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

Section "ServerLayout"
        [... more blah ...]
        InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
        [... more blah ...]
EndSection

gpm was installed by me but has since been removed. The result either way was 
the same.

If I enter at the command line: cat /dev/psaux <enter> then move the mouse, it 
will write garbage to the screen with the movement of the mouse.

Any help would be appreciated,

Bill.
