You did'nt mention whether your mouse is a PS/2 or serial, and whether
it has a scroll wheel in the center.

Anyway, run mouseconfig as root and select the appropriate type.  This
program will also update your XF86Config file for you.

Run "switchdesk" (or look in the /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/ directory for
some clues)

edit the file /etc/inittab, there will be a line like:

id:3:initdefault:

Change the 3 above to 5.  The next time you reboot, it will go to X11
automatically.

Hope it helps,
Loki.
