Yeah ive had a similer problem with X running on Debian. First are you sure all your X settings are correct IE: correct mouse type/connection etc..etc?
If so did you install the correct modules when you compiled the kernel ?
If so, (this is what i have to do.) I installed an application called discover,
When i log in i just open a terminal and run discover while holding down the right hand mouse button and moving it a bit.
Discover sends a probe to the mouse, so if you move/use it while its looking for it, it should find it. If your stting in X are wrng though this will not work.

What way do you refer to your mouse in xorg.conf? Is it /dev/input/mice? Have you tried that?
