Mouse issues with Linux

I installed Linux no problem and after the first boot process I came to the logon prompt and the mouse didn't respond, So I log in and after Linux starts up the mouse still doesn't respond, I use an optical wireless Logitech mouse and the driver disk is only for Win XP. I also restarted with a normal USB mouse with the same result. Anybody else have this problem?
 
Find your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or XF86Config or whatever it was called) and find the mouse section. See what the protocol is.

Better yet, just run the xorg or xfree config script. Set the mouse type to "Auto". Also check to see where your mouse is connected.

dmesg | grep mouse

to see what comes up. I think the default is for x to want to use /dev/mouse whereas I find my logitech mice come up under /dev/psaux
