whoops, accidentally hit 'send' in mid-email.

first thing you want to do is make sure the correct modules are loaded
for your usb controller. to do this run:

$ lspci -vv | less -S

look for OHCI or UHCI and possibly EHCI. once that is determined, run:

# modprobe uhci_hcd

or 

# modprobe ohci_hcd

depending on previous ouput.

and possibly (if you have USB 2.0)

# modprobe ehci_hcd

next:

# modprobe usbhid

and i think that should do it.

if you have an optical mouse, does the light come on?
