Steve,

Did you install Devuan jessie from one of the official isos or from the
unofficial live? If from the latter, I can think of one more test to do -
install from an official Devuan iso (non-live) and see if the mouse
behaves correctly. If it does, then the problem may have to do with the
refracta scripts.
