The big question here is: which kernel are you using? If 2.2.18pre21 (the
latest in stable), then see:

That page will help you configure the device files, gpm and X to work with the
new input layer, which blends all of the attached mice into a single device.

ctrl-alt-F1 gets you to the 1st virtual console (ctrl-alt-F2 to the second,
etc.).
