What do you mean by "pause"? Assuming the mouse responds, this means
you've done most of the hard work of playing in the XF86Config file;
in particular, your video is more likely than not set up correctly.

Probably not, *maybe* in the pre-2.4 kernels. Try using an
established industry-accepted hardware protocol, like a PS/2 mouse
(connect to a 6-pin DIN connector on your computer and /dev/psaux in
Linux).
