As root: cat /dev/input/mice
move the mouse around, and see if anything shows up on the screen.
If yes, the mouse is probably working properly.

cat: mice: no such device

This suggests that your mouse is not registering with the system. Do you
have hotplug &| the kernel module (if it is not built in) for usb mice?

I'm not certain. To be honest my prior *nix experiance is as a user, not admin.
I think the output from lsmod I posted in my other reply sugest not?
