Then I would look for something like the following (on a recentish 2.6.x
kernel):

input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input4

Typically /var/log/Xorg.<screennum>.log but it probably varies from
distribution to distribution.

If you're running XFree86 still, first I must ask why, and second, it
will probably be XFree86.<screennum>.log

<screennum> is likely to be 0 unless you're running multiple heads or X
servers.

I'd check you have "input" and "psmouse" loaded. They are probably
modules, although I think my kernel has the input core compiled in
directly.
