If it's a PS/2 mouse you need to set that in the kernel - check your
kernel for the following line:

device          psm0    at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector
psmintr  (all on one line)

The generic kernel comes with this line, but with "disable" in it.  If you
still have "disable", remove that word then remake and install your kernel
and reboot.  

Brett - who seems to forget this exact thing on every machine too

When you wake up in the morning
With the blues in your fingertips
Get out that ol' guitar and play
It's the only way to scratch that itch
