This is a tough one, because "It used to work, I didn't change anything, and now it doesn't work". Obviously something *has* changed. It appears not to be the mouse if it still works under Microsoft, so it's probably configuration. Here are some things to check: 1. Is the mouse port enabled? Older kernel config files disabled psm0. Check dmesg output. 2. Are you sure your moused is running against the correct port? That's about all I can think of now.
