I don't have an intellimouse so this is an educated guess :-)
I think you may have a conflict between X and gpm. Try disabling gpm and
setting your device to /dev/psaux in XF86Config-4:
Option Device/dev/psaux
Good luck, Simon.

I had X (XFree86 4.0.2)working fine until I started trying to get my
IntelliMouse wheel to work. I even tried running xf86config again. When I
startx it attempts to load but fails with no error messages. The last few
lines after it attempts:
...
(**) Mouse1: Protocol: IMPS/2
(**) Mouse1: Core Pointer
(==) Mouse1: Buttons: 3
(II) Keyboard Keyboard1 handled by legacy driver
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Mouse1 9type: MOUSE)

And that's it no errors but no X either.
Incidentally, how do you get the (IntelliMouse) wheel to work? (mouse is
currently working under gpm)
In gpm.conf I have:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=
type=imps2
append=
sample_rate=
In the mouse section of XF86Config-4 I have:
Identifier Mouse1
Driver mouse
Option Protocol IMPS/2
Option Device/dev/gpmdata
Before I ran xf86config, I had added the lines:
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
Option Buttons 5
And I may have been using the IntelliMouse protocol as well. I can't
remember, I tried too many things. What should it be?
Inquiring minds wish there was an XFree86 4 HOW-TO for debian.
