An "ls -l /dev/mouse" shows that /dev/mouse is linked to /dev/input/mice.
In dmesg there is:-
PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly. serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all miceThat looks OK to me, so why doesn't the mouse work?
Is it in X that it doesn't work?
It's anywhere, the gpm "mouse in a console" driver doesn't work either.
Is it worth testing a different mouse?
The same mouse was working the day before in the same system, just a different distro.
I think I have the answer now actually, a PS/2 mouse needs a module to be installed for it to work.
