If it is a serial MS Mouse that you are using, there are several
possibilities.
1. The com port may not be set to run at 1200 baud. It really
matters!
2. gpm may be running and this often interferes with the operation
of some mice in X
3. The mouse may be faulty.
Case 1 - run SaX and fix the problem remembering to use keys only
until you apply the changes.
Case 2 - add gpm -k to the beginning of the startx script.
Case 3 - Either pull the mouse apart and fix it of replace it.
Stay well and happy
