Hi,
it seems not to be an mouse problem...
If the server is missing fonts you should install them.
Try as root:
apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-75dpi xfonts-75-dpi-transcoded xfonts-scalable xfonts-100dpi xfonts-100dpi-transcoded
Best regards,
Thomas Otto

| Still no luck. However the error message pumped out something about fonts.
