Try ,within linus, running /usr/sbin/mousedrake.
  

       

Linus might not like this *grin* sorry couldn't resist it.

     

Wow,  a slip of the fingers and I find myself being internally 
intrusive. Apologies to the big guy  :-[ .

   



On a serious note I think Larry is right... you may need to run
mousedrake as it's taking the first mouse it sees and auto configuring
it.  

     



Just had another thought.. XP might be ignoring BIOS and doing the usb
mouse.  My laptop had/has a setting for multiple/internal/external
mouse.  Here I couldn't use a USB mouse until I set it for multiple on
another laptop... oh and if you haven't guessed I'm grasping at straws
here.

You might even try changing within the file, /etc/sysconfig/usb:
MOUSE=no  to MOUSE=yes and then reboot the system.
