First: if you enter "cat /dev/input/mice" and move the mouse, you should see
garbage printed to the screen. If not, try (as root) "modprobe usb-uhci" and
"modprobe hid", then try the cat command again. If that doesn't work, please
post the output of "lspci -v" and "lsmod".

If you get the garbage OK: make sure your /etc/X11/XF86Config has an "Input
device" section with entries like this:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ImPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

EndSection


... then restart X. (I'm not familiar with your particular mouse; you might
need a different protocol than ImPS/2, but that one will probably work.)
