Unhappy Ubuntu mouse problem


I installed Linux Ubuntu on my computer, everything went just fine. but heres the thing: my mouse doesn't work at ALL.. I've installed Knoppix, Mandrake 10 & Xandros and it worked pretty well on those distros.. but here on Ubuntu, it just DON'T.

I ran xf86config a couple of times, and still NOTHING.. the mouse just won't move.

.. help?

well you could edit your XF86Config file (/etc/X11/XF86Config)
, in the input device section
have you tried that?

then maybe a link from the appropiate device to /dev/mouse
what kind of mouse are you using anyways?
have you read the log file in /var/log?
