I've got the same problem, and I could've sworn it worked when I first
installed sarge a few months back. My relevant bits are:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
# Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I had tried switching back to PS/2 protocol too, but that didn't work
either. My solution is to alt-tab (fvwm2), exit out of my windows, then
exit the WM. That is enough to sort out the mouse when I log back in
(xdm). I've got a belkin F1DS104T if it matters.
This came up here a few months back, but I don't think there was a
resolution then either.
