X.org shouldn't care what sort of mouse it is, it'll just receive mouse events |
| 32 |
from a /dev/input/* device, usually /dev/input/mice and only the kernel needs |
| 33 |
to know whether it's ps/2 or usb. |

Do any additional /dev/input/* devices appear when plugging in the mouse? If |
| 39 |
so try to 'cat' them and move the mouse around and see if anything happens. |

However you say the laser doesn't turn on, that might indicate a problem |
| 41 |
elsewhere, probably in your kernel configuration. Do you have any other USB |
| 42 |
mice that you can try? |
