Run xconsole.  Depending on your kernel config, you may or may not have to
run it as root.

Not sure about this one. Could be your video card, or your window manager,
or something else.

If your mouse is being recognized as a two-button mouse, you can use
xmodmap to move the buttons around.  For example, at work, I am running
MIX under Windows Nt to connect to a NetBSD box. I only have a two-button
mouse, so I use

   xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2"

to make the left button "copy" and the right button "paste" in an xterm.
Check out "man xmodmap" for more info.
