You have not given us nearly enough information.
- What version of RedHat?
- What sort of mouse?
- Did you specify the right mouse type and device file in
/etc/X11/XF86Config?
- Does /dev/mouse exist, and is it a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 (or
/dev/cua0)?
- Did you try running RedHat's mouseconfig and mouse-test utilities?
- Do the files (symbolic links) /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S*gpm exist? Does
the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm exist? (ie, does the mouse driver
get started at bootup?)
- What is the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/mouse file?
There are more questions you need to find answers to, but this should
give you a good start.
Cheers
