HEllo,
Edit the XF86Config file in the project directory. ITs under the "custom" directory in your project.
Edit etc/X11/XF86Config for your particular mouse options. By default, the mouse is set up for PS/2 protocol on the /dev/psaux device. Make sure these things are OK.
Try doing the following at your prompt:
dmesg | grep Detected
You should see a line saying "Detected PS/2 Mouse" or similar.
Do a "Alt-F2" or "CTRL-ALT-F2" to get to a terminal if you are stuck in some error state when X fails.
