Well, if it doesn't even light up, then your usb ports aren't working at
all in the first place, so it's a problem with USB, and not the mouse.
Putting on a ps/2 mouse and reconfiguring X should work, until you can
get the usb figured out. As for usb, do you get any usb related
messages during boot? And if you do a 'lsmod' (as root) do you see any
usb-related entries?
Specs on the system, and Brand/Model of computer (if not homebrewed)
and/or motherboard would be helpful too. I would try searching google
for "<motherboard> linux usb fix" or something like that.. I had the
exact same problem with my laptop, and searching through google yielded
a reletively easy fix :)
