use lsmod to get the module list. The modules are usbmouse and psmouse

you will need to revisit your kernel configuration if you dont have

Thanks for the reply. I have neither usbmouse nor psmouse in my lsmod
output. Trying to load with modprobe doesn't work either:
tv mythtv # modprobe psmouse
FATAL: Module psmouse not found.
tv mythtv # modprobe usbmouse
FATAL: Module usbmouse not found.
Because I haven't made any changes, I suspect my system never used
them. I'll try changing the batteries in the mouse as another poster
suggested. If that doesn't solve it, then I'll venture into this further.
Thanks,
Drew

Thanks for the explanation.
To test try "cat /dev/input/mice" and move the mouse - rubbish will
print to terminal if its working. CTRL-C to exit.
No rubbish. Not working.
Thanks for your help.
