I've just installed Deb-Sarge, and having some troubles making my mouse

I've set it up through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, but the mouse

Mouse-model: PS2, 2 button and scrollwheel as third (middle) button.
I've used psaux, Imps2.
It worked for a while, but it has been rather unstable.
any suggestions?

hi soren,
know the problem. work with psaux/imps2 too. work now with testing,
earlier with sarge.
did as root dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. on the end of all the
questions i installed fourteen modules as asked; like this: 1 2 3 etc.
these modules seem i.c. under testing not to load automatically like
under woody (and potato??) in earlier times.
after the explicit loading of these fourteen modules the problem of the
freezing mouse *seems* to be gone (it is working right now)
yes, *seems*, because i did this two hours ago.
maybe worth a try?? i am curious if this works on your machine. i
consider this freezing as a serious problem i never encountered tiil
sarge became stable.
I've done a dpkg-reconfigure several times, thirteen of the fourteen
modules was suggested by computer, so I stuck with them (omitting xtt -
teletype fonts for X?) Choosing the last module also didn't change
anything, a reboot gave me a frozen mouse once again, after a new
reconfiguring af the xserver and a new reboot the mouse was again.
I have a Nvidia Graphics Card, I've downloaded Nvidia own driver, not
yet installed, perhaps that will helt, the installation instructions
says something about de-choosing some of the modules.
thanks for your reply
Søren
