it would help to know what type of mouse that you use, usb, ps/2, etc. here is my mouse section of xorg.conf to use as a reference. i use a microsoft intellimouse optical with a usb connection.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |

try this:
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mouse1 |
move the mouse and depress the buttons, it should output characters reflecting the data transmittal of the mouse. you may be pointing to the wrong path. try all the mice in the /dev/input path if it doesnt work.
