You probably need to modify your X server config to point at the correct mouse device. If you are running a recent kernel, including the 2.2.18pre21 kernel currently shipping in Debian, then the correct device is /dev/input/mice. On an older kernel, the device may be /dev/usbmouse. Open the file /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4 if you are running XFree 4.0). Change the "Device" line of the mouse section to the correct device path. Now restart X. Hopefully you can use your mouse now. If not, feel free to write back to the list or to me personally.
