In dmesg there is:-
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
That looks OK to me, so why doesn't the mouse work?
Does the X.org log provide any further clues as to what may be failing ?
BTW One tip to verify lower levels are working - `cat /dev/mouse` and wiggle the rodent around. If $random garbage is dumped to the screen, the low level drivers should be OK.
I'm pretty sure it's the lower level that isn't working, I don't get a mouse controlled cursor in my console windows using gpm.
