The mouse has been working fine until one power failure. My box had been

power-failure and some weird error of my FS might be.
Hmm; this is info I hadn't caught before.

BTW, did you try the Shift-NumLock method of mousing around; did it work

I'm using fluxbox as my window manager. I read this keyboard mouse is
provided by X, not WM, but somehow I can't get it works under fluxbox.
Hmm; this is suspicious. It works for me in fluxbox.
Is this mouse a PS/2 with scroll wheel (ie, not serial, and not USB)? Is
it perhaps a "broken" ps/2 mouse, in which case you might want to try
the type "fups2".
It is a simple 3-key ps/2 mouse. no wheel, not serial, and not USB. It has always been working fine, both in RH and Debian, just until recently.
Again, I'm not interested in solving the gpm/X conflicts, I just want to get my X back to work again ASAP
I hadn't understood this before either. I thought you were trying to get them to play nice together.
So, gpm confirms that the hardware and /dev/psaux device is working.
So, go ahead and purge gpm, and configure X like so:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" # Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
If that doesn't work, check the mouse-related line(s) in the "ServerLayout" section of XF86Config-4. It should be:
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
If it still doesn't work, then I'm finally in agreement with you that there's some file damage (etc) in your X configuration, in which case I'd try something like:
apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xfree86 xlibmesa3 xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xbase-clients xutils
