I had similar problems when I installed SUSE for
others.

Where you able to use it when you were installing? Is
the mouse a two button type?  Did you install SUSE
using a different mouse? 

The problem I had was once you are on the desktop and
the mouse doesn't work you can't get to YAST to
configure it!Or worse all sorts of windows start to
open and I have to shut the system down from the reset
button.

I suggest that you change to another mouse type and
then re-configure the existing one if you have to keep
it, or do a repaire attempt using the boot CD and
attempt re-configuring the mouse. When I had this
problem the mouse was usually an old one so I just
replaced the old two button mouse with a wheel mouse.
