This problem has been reported on a few different systems.  In each
case, the problem has been that svgalib was configured for the wrong
mouse type, or /dev/mouse was a symlink to the wrong device.

Double check the svgalib config file (/etc/vga/libvga.config), and if
that looks OK see if you can get svgalib's mousetest to work on your
system.

Good luck!
