Don't give up!! You can get it to work I am reasonable certain of that. Though, Toshiba hardware is notorious for not playing nicely with Linux (they have staff that they employ jointly with MS=).
I have gotten mine to work on my work box (an ASUS) by tweaking the
XF86Config/-4 files by hand. They are on my work box or I would email
them to you now. Basically you need to use the "send core events"
argument for your usb mouse so it pipes the output through the normal mouse.
I can get you my files as a sample tomorrow unless someone else has some handy or knows the changes that need to be made to those files. BTW, they are found in /etc/X11/
