Ok I am not sure if it will help you what you can try.
Make next file /etc/sysconfig/mouse
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
FULLNAME="UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS MOUSE(USB)"
It is for usb mouse. otherwise I think you can write it and then start the
program setup and change the mouse from the window
Be Free.
