I've never had any problem like that except when installing gpm and
before making the change in xorg.conf or XF86Config[-4]
('Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"' -- well documented in the archive here
and elsewhere) and of course the configuration in /etc/gpm.conf (usually
something like 'device=/dev/input/mice' and 'repeat_type=ms3')
.
So, a slightly random thought:
a) are you sure you haven't installed gpm? If so check the two
configuration files.
b) If it is not installed, how about trying installing it and adjusting
the configuration files. I can't imagine why it would be better, but
it costs little effort to try.
