Dan,
I'm no expert - I'd been waiting for a more experienced voice to reply - I had
too had a problem with the mouse not responding in X windows. In
/etc/XF86Config under the section "Pointer", I set Device to /dev/ttyS1
instead of /dev/mouse. My mouse is on com2, you might want to try /dev/ttyS0
instead.
