The first thing I think you should do is reconfigure your xserver using PS/2 as the protocal, just because it a microsoft mouse doesn't mean it's microsoft protocal. With your window manager being twm all you should get is a checkered screen on the inital start up. twm is VERY basic. After the mouse is working, I think you should start getting results. Left mouse button brings up the menu.
