You know USB devices are hot-pluggable (which means you can plug them in
while the system is running)? Try unplugging it and re-plugging it.

Try it in a different USB port.

Open a terminal and run
su - -c "tail -f /var/log/messages"
You will be prompted for the root password.

You will see the "end" of the /var/log/messages file: many system
messages are logged here. Plug in the mouse, and see what lines are
output.

Hope this helps,

James.
