Check your XF86Config file.

You can still use the Pointer section, but would recommend setting up an
input device section.

If using a particular PS/2 mouse protocol try the bog standard PS/2 first.

e.g.
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"PS2 Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"Device"	"/dev/mouse"
	Option		"Protocol"	"PS/2"
	Option		"Buttons"	"3"
EndSection

see http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.html for more information on how
to use it.

Hope you get it going!
