where is this mouse missing? console or X?
If X you just need to add the appropriate InputDevice section to
xorg.conf or XF86Config-4.
I assume you're using xfree86-driver-synaptics for your touchpad, so
your configuration should be similar to mine:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TP Mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
# ... lots of options here ... see xfree86-driver-synaptics docs
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse Cordless"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
# ... other stuff ...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "TP Mouse"
InputDevice "USB Mouse Cordless"
EndSection

that's sonypi's responsibility and you won't get them as X events
anyway.
# modprobe sonypi
sonypi: Sony Programmable I/O Controller Driver v1.26.
sonypi: detected type2 model, verbose = 0, fnkeyinit = off, camera = off,
compat = off, mask = 0xffffffff, useinput = on, acpi = on

and
# apt-cache show rsjog
