look in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. if the mouse you are talking about
is a touchpad _on_ your laptop, you need to point the Device option to
/dev/psaux (note the spelling). if your mouse is a ps/2 mouse (connects
through the USB port of your laptop), then you need to point the Device
option to /dev/input/mice. 

here is an eg. 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
