USB or PS/2? If it doesn't light up try leaving it plugged in and reboot your PC. If that still doesn't work, check your BIOS settings and make sure the port you attached the mouse to is activated. Beyond that, you may have a bad mouse or a bad PS2/USB port. This probably is not Linux's fault.

Which distro and version are you using? Which kernel?

I think you should edit your xorg.conf and make sure u've got correct driver(IMPS/2).for reference here is my gentoo's /etc/X11/xorg.conf's ps/2 area:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier        "PS/2 Mouse"

        Driver        "mouse"

        Option        "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

        Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

        Option        "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

        Option        "Emulate3Timeout" "70"

        Option        "SendCoreEvents"  "true"

        Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection
