Thanks Jesper.  That made me read again and realised that it was the
mouse protocol that works in XFree but not in xorg. I removed
xserver-xorg, deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reinstalled it.  This
time the configuration looked different:

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

I just had to change "gpmdata" to "/dev/gpmdata" and now it works.

Regards
Johann
