Can anyone help me to get my scrollpoint on the external mouse work ? 
Now it barely scrolls a few lines and then stops.

TIA,
Bob

 Here is my config:

Using GNOME on Debian unstable with XFree 4.3.0.dfsg.

My mice (the keyboard's and an external 800dpi IBM 3 button optical with 
scrollpoint on a port replicator)
