I've been informed to try the configuration below:

I'm new to Linux and Debian.  Do I use 'VI' to edit 'XF86Config-4' file
or do I have to run the command 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86'?
From reading the 'XF86Config-4' file it looks like you have to put
configuration either at the beginning or end.  If you put at the end
what about the mouse configuration settings in the middle of the file?
