The strange thing is this:
What fixed it was removing some unused (but valid) cruft, including the
sections for the second monitor (which I don't have plugged in
anyhow). How these sections (which validated fine before) could have led
to unresolved symbols....
The wheel mouse I really don't get because I looked at the auto-configured
mouse in redhat and the XF86Config file is identical in that respect.
I will take your advice and play with debconf.
thanks for your help,
