Please put reply messages at the _bottom_, not at the top.
Erich, what is your mouse configuration?
Also try and locate the problem in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
This is a generic configuration:
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
You may need to change the "Indentifier" line, see your ServerLayout.
