I've had a similar problem--mine was hardware-based (I had re-installed Windows to determine that). The mouse responded fine to the horizontal axis, but not the vertical. I'd try pulling the HP mouse out of its socket gently (you can do this and re-insert it with no harm), remove the battery, and use that little straw that comes with a compressed air duster can to try to blow out anything that may be messing up the mechanism. Whatever you do, don't blow WD-40 in there...:D Failing that, do what I did: find a 9-pin serial mouse (or google and buy a cheap one off the web) to plug in back, at which point, when you run xsetup.sh, bypass both "USB Mouse?" and "IBM PS/2 Mouse?" and you'll see the serial mouse menu. "COM1" ought to do it at that point.
