If you're using gpm, that might complicate things (although I prefer to
use it, and can actually make troubleshooting easier as you can take X
out of the picture somewhat). So, first question: are you using gpm?
Secondly, you might try using the "Intellimouse" protocol rather than
"ImPS/2".
You might also want to post the relevant sections of gpm.conf and
XF86Config-4.
