Do you use USB or PS/2 mouse, and what brand and model?

It's a PS/2 mouse, but the mouse brand name is too worn out to see clearly. All I can make out is "Micro" (it's not a Microsoft mouse, though). I've had the mouse for a while.

Hmm the system should be able to consider it as "Generic Mouse".
I'm not sure, but have you tried any other LiveCD or the LiveCD+Mouse at another machine?

liveCD with IceWM? hm, made a quick search on wikipedia, it must be a rather old one. edit - found it. it's based on gentoo. from the features list, - Kernel 2.4.20-wolk and 2.4.22 with supermount, squashfs, shfs patches and ALSA 0.9.6 drivers man this is SO old, current kernel is 2.6.25.x, no wonder that certain things that should be automated by now aren't available on kernel 2.4. try zenwalk live. i use zenwalk (the "real", not live cd) on a daily basis and it has proven to me as a reliable, rock solid and beautiful platform with the underlying simplicity of a slackware distribution. give it a try. http://www.zenwalk.org/

I'm not sure, but have you tried any other LiveCD or the LiveCD+Mouse at another machine? Well, it works with Sun xVM VirtualBox, but the issue using the virtual machine is performance (you can only do so much with an emulated machine w/ 512MB RAM and 128MB video memory; my real machine has 1.5GB RAM with 512MB video memory (NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT)).
void main()
{
cout << "I am MrCode,";
cout << "hear me roar!";
system("PAUSE");

Ok guys, I think I found the problem. I did a little more searching, and apparently the mouse has to be USB to work. Oh well. But it seems strange; it said it had "USB mouse and keyboard support", so why doesn't it have issues with my keyboard, too? It's also PS/2. Well, I have an extra one (just because,  ) that is USB, but it doesn't seem to work at all with the OS.
