lsmod, and make sure the 'psmouse' modules is listed.
If not, `modprobe psmouse` and try again.

It's not loaded by default in kernel 2.6 for unknown reasons.
Put a line in /etc/modules which just says 'psmouse' to load it on boot.

Perhaps this should be a FAQ?  (Better yet, perhaps the kernel should load
it by default?...)
