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.
