my mouse is going nutsoid... by mcnutcase2003-01-19 05:55:18
  Sounds like the wrong protocol by SMcV 2003-01-19 06:10:33
I assume this is in X? That sounds familiar; I had a mouse set to the wrong protocol for a while (IIRC I set it to Intellimouse, without realizing that protocol was intended for serial-port mice) and it did that.

Plain PS/2 two button mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "DefaultMouse" # or whatever
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

PS/2 intellimouse clone:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "DefaultMouse" # or whatever
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
