    Except that he manually commented out the BusID line in XF86Config-4, so
    now debconf will no longer modify that file until he does the stuff at
    the top of the file.

    At this point, it might just be easier to manually modify the
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

    If you're running gpm (does the mouse move in the text console? if so,
    then yes, you're running gpm), configure it to repeat the data as "ms3",
    and then configure XF86Config-4 to read from /dev/gpmdata and use the
    appropriate protocol (which I believe should be "Intellimouse" instead
    of the "ImPS/2" protocol as listed below (I'm doing non-standard things)).
