You can keep gpm if you want by telling it to repeat data as ms3 and

If it is a PS/2 mouse you should not have that /dev/input/mouse
section. For PS/2 you should be fine with just /dev/psaux.
Use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to reconfigure X again and just
choose PS/2 when selecting mouse.

I've got a 4-5 year old Compaq Presario desktop (not laptop) with a PS/2

Hello,
I'm having problems with the Mouse. Until now I've used a simple serial
mouse, and there's been no problem with it, I could use the gpm's repeater
interface under X.
But now I've bought a new Logitech mouse, which is the type of IMPS/2.
Unfortunatelly GPM cannot repeat IMPS/2 protocol, so
I think if you run gpm, in X the mouse should be configured with device
"/dev/gpmdata" and protocol "MouseSystems". At least it works on my system, but
I have a different mouse. You can try anyway...

First, I installed Debian 2.2 (stable) from CD, using the normal install

I guess you have gpm already running. There are sometimes problems
with gpm and
ning gpm, then the device you want is probably /dev/gpmdata,
otherwise it's probably /dev/ttyS0 as you note.

The problem I am facing: The second mouse button does not work. I
cannot cut and paste. Is this perhaps caused by the entry "Microsoft" in
section pointer of XF86Config so that XF86 thinks, I have got a 2
button mouse?
Turns out that AccelerratedX 5 doesn't mind slink's gpm, but won't work with
potato's. So I just removed gpm from startup, and now everythings fine.

Yes - but /dev/mouse needs to point to wherever your mouse really is -
probably a serial port (try /dev/ttys0 or /dev/ttys1).
