Is this replacing an existing PS/2 mouse, or are you trying to get mouse support working from scratch? If the former, not much should need changing. USB support needs to be enabled, if it's not enabled already. And under USB device options, there's a subsection on "USB Human Interface Device support" - enable that (either built-in or module), and enable the option under it "HID Input Layer support". That should be all - since I already had the above options for a USB keyboard, I didn't need to do anything when replacing a PS/2 mouse with a USB one (actually, I've still got both plugged in and working). Just plugged the new one in, no config changes, no reboots, didn't even have to log out of X. Simon.
