I had a problem like this before. When I booted the computer, Ctrl-Alt-F1. Login as root.

drakconf

navigate to hardware->mouse

Experiment with different mouse settings. Ctrl-Alt-F7 will bring you back to X. See if your mouse starts moving.

("Any PS/2 & USB Mice" was my setting, but the mouse would only work when I told it to use the "Generic PS/2 mouse")

When I went into configure your computer i was able to change the settings a few times,
and got it to work! Thanks to everyone to your help!!

You may also want to make sure the "udev" service is started on boot. If this is disabled, the mouse won't work no matter what modifications you make to the xorg file.
