Don't knock it. They make *great* optical mice.
It worked for 64 Studio/Debian Etch and Lenny. It's not broken, it still works with an old Suse install.
Does /dev/psaux exist? Do you boot into [xkg]dm or the console? Is gpm installed?
-- Ralf PS: Until now completely no issues for the USB mouse. FWIW the mouse wheel for the PS/2 mouse already was broken for the clean Debian stable install. It isn't related to self-build kernels etc..
There are enough people still using PS/2 mice that the Debian-install people wouldn't take out the PS/2 driver.
Since you eviscerated ALSA, I wouldn't be surprised if you screwed up something regarding the mouse, too.
