For console mode be sure to install gpm (apt-get install gpm) if you
don't already have it. For X, what does the mouse section in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 look like? Try running 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-common' and be sure you picked the right mouse settings. I'd
suggest getting gpm to work first if you are having serious trouble
beyond all this.

By default Debian does not give you such a run level.
Pick a run level, say 3. Change the default run level in /etc/inittab
to 3. Then in /etc/rc3.d/ look for all those S99 files that start up
gdm, kdm, xdm (and so on), and rename to be K01gdm, K01kdm, K01xdm
etc. (look in /etc/rc6.d/ to get an idea of what I'm talking about).
Doing an 'init 3' should take you to console mode without
rebooting.
Pretty standard stuff if you know the /etc/rcN.d/ files from another
distribution.
Cheers!
