You said that the mouse works in the console? Then you can tell X to get its
mouse input from gpm, like so:

/etc/gpm.conf:
        repeat_type=ms3

/etc/X11/XF86Config:
        Protocol "intellimouse"
        Device "/dev/gpmdata"

The above has gpm doing protocol translation. As Jeff noted in a recent
thread, that does not always work optimally. You can also try it without:

/etc/gpm.conf:
        repeat_type=raw

/etc/X11/XF86Config:
        Protocol "PS/2"
        Device "/dev/gpmdata"
