As someone else noted, the configuration file for X is /etc/X11/XF86Config or XF86Config-4.
The symptoms you describe sound like a conflict I've seen a lot of with Debian between X and gpm, a terminal pointer program. If the mouse moves at all, it's listening to the right device and chances are that the protocol are correct as well. Get yourself to a terminal by CNTRL-ALT-F1, log in as root and type "killall gpm", then go back to X by CNTRL-ALT-F7 to see if it worked. If that worked, you need to look through your init files and modify them so that gpm is killed before or when X starts.
