[vox-tech] USB Mouse Issues on new SuSE installation

[Jonathan Stickel]

You can check usb device connectivity with the lsusb command.  For 
gentoo, it's in the "usbutils" package.  Or you can check dmesg for usb 
connections and possible errors.

More likely your /etc/X11/XF86Config needs help.  Can you paste the 
section(s) starting with "Section "InputDevice""?
