Okay, this looks right.

It looks like you're missing the PS/2 mouse module (you have a PS/2
mouse, right?). Try typing (as root) "modprobe psmouse" and then see if
"psmouse" shows up in the "lsmod" list. Fedora may actually build this
into the kernel itself (not as a separate module), so you may get a
"module not found" error.

Okay, and here your X configuration is looking in the wrong place for
the mouse device. You need to change those
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
lines to
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Unfortunately, I'm not a Fedora user, so I don't know if there's a way
to do this without editing the file by hand (Fedora people, speak up!).
Editing it by hand isn't all that hard if you've got a usable text
editor ("nano" or "pico" are good ones to try, and probably will be
installed). Do this:
cd /etc/X11
cp XF86Config XF86Config.backup
nano XF86Config
Change those lines, save the new file, and restart the X server by going
back to the graphical login screen and hitting <ctrl>+<alt>+<backspace>.
Try that and let's see where that gets you.
Oh, and just as a special request: many of us use email programs that
don't do HTML messages. It's a real chore to filter out HTML tags so
that we can read and reply to messages. Could you set Hotmail to send
only text messages to the list, and not HTML?
