ROFLOL, Video card?

Install gpm so mouse can work in tty as well as X (very handy)
and in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IntelliMouse"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
