Could be helpful if you had more output to look at. .e.g. 
/var/log/XFree86.0.log

Usually, though, the problem is setting up the adbmouse with your xserver.
Rerun the setup and plug in the proper values
   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

use /dev/adbmouse for the mouse
The protocol should be set to busmouse

You might have to set these up by hand with an editor. The file to 
change is found in
/etc/X11/XF86Config
