I would start by looking for something like the following in dmesg or
your kernel logs:
May 16 14:12:48 linux kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all
mice
If the mouse is loading in the kernel, you could try to cat (as root)
the ps/2 device file, then move your mouse around and press your mouse
buttons:
# cat /dev/psaux
You should see some miscellaneous characters appear on the screen.
Ctrl+C to return to the shell prompt. If no characters appear, there may
be a problem with the mouse.
