Thank you! I was using dpkg-reconfigure, but it's options were very
limited, "Logitech" being the only one which matched, really. When I tried
xf86cfg per your recommendation, it shows two mice, and indeed there are two
mouse configurations in /etc/XF86Config-4. (Is this normal? Why two?).
One of the mice had an option for "MouseMan", with no 3rd button emulation
(it's a 3 button mouse). This worked. The new config is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "Protocol" "MouseMan"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
I looked at dmesg, but it doesn't say anything specific about the mouse,
just:
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
