There has been some discussion of similar problems on this list in
the past month or so.  If the following doesn't help, consult the
list archives.

I _think_ the main problem was lack of the correct usb driver.
Some, or all of the following (and perhaps any options for each of
them).

Device Drivers -> USB Support :
 Support for Host-side USB
 XHCI HCD (USB 3.0)
 EHCI HCD (USB 2.0)
 OHCI HCD (USB 1.1) or
 UHCI UCD (most -old- intel and via controllers)

Device Drivers -> Input Device Drivers ->
 Keyboards (possibly - it needs to be enabled, AT keyboard probably
works and should be the default)
 Mice - options for Apple USB Touchpad or Multitouch (at a guess)

If you have lspci on your host system, that should show you which
controllers are present, or just enable all the USB drivers.

On a macbook you probably also want Device Drivers -> Macintosh
device drivers to get 3-button emulation working on the mouse.
