switch to a virtual console, type (as root):
gpm -k
gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/mouse -R
and you should be fine. you might need to check that
/dev/mouse is linked to /dev/usbmouse (or something similar)
and you might need to make sure the pointer entry in
/etc/X11/XF86Config looks something like...
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
(etc.)
that's all from memory, but I think it should work.
