If you're running hamm, it's in the xserver-vga16 package, and should be in
as /usr/bin/X11/XF86Setup.

If you're using slink or potato, XF86Setup has its own package, called
(strangely) xf86setup.

I'll caution you, though -- in my experience XF86Setup is not a great tool
with which to configure the mouse.  The X server expects the pointer device
to be working when it starts, and if you have the protocol set wrong and
then move the mouse, you can get bizarre results and you have to kill the X
server.

If you have a serial mouse, try putting

   Protocol        "Auto"

in the "Pointer" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.  That
autodetects a wide variety of serial mice.
