You don't have your mouse device loaded or so. I'm not completely sure on how to fix it. Looks like you have to reconfigure your xserver with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pick the right mouse.

Also look here:

Try adding a new line that says "psmouse" to the end of /etc/modules, like this:

psmouse

The /etc/modules file is used for loading kernel modules/drivers during boot time and adding "psmouse" there will load the psmouse module so that it's ready when you type "startx" to start X session.

this really work below
"Please note: Usually the server refuses to start if there is no core pointer device. You can change this by adding the line:
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "1"
to the ServerFlags section of your xorg.conf. "

nice .!!!
thank you darkleaf
