Help needed to find why mouse not working



I have just purchased a KeySonic ACK-540 RF wireless keyboard and touchpad to work with my KDE4 based Debian Squeeze computer. This is primarily because it is a mythtv box and I want to sit remotely to control it.

The keyboard seems to work fine - its recognised by grub and works without a problem. The mouse part is not working in KDE - but there is definitely a mouse device present in the system (/dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mouse1 are present).

I would like to initially prove that when I move my hand on the touchpad it is sending information to the computer. How can I see that something is being sent (which devices should be the mouse?)

Once I know that there is info being received at the computer, I then need to find out how to get X to recognise it.

Can some of you here lead me through this process please.
