Luke - - It could be a your gpm program which is supposed to enable your mouse in a console. When I had gpm running on my laptop my mouse wouldn't function in X. (Dell I7k, potato) I moved the gpm file from my /etc/init.d to my /root directory (just to get it out of the init.d boot process, and it worked) Worth a try anyway...
