That's probably not a problem. The IMPS mouse definition works with MS 
IntelliMouse devices on the PS/2 port; it also works with USB devices.

If you're using a wheel mouse or a USB mouse, then you'll want to use 
the IMPS protocol.

Can you provide

* a description of the mouse you're using (no. of buttons, type of 
  connector, wheel/no-wheel, ...)

* from your /etc/X11/XF86Config file
  - any ServerLayout sections
  - any InputDevice sections that define the mouse Driver
