If you are running moused <the mouse = at the text=20 console>
then X must be configured to use = /dev/sysmouse=20 instead of /dev/psm0 <I think that's right>
 
If you don't have moused running ensure = that your=20 mouse is indeed set to /dev/psm0 and that the protocol is set to=20 Auto.

Please be more specific about = everything you=20 tried.
