Before that error it probably gives more details.

You need to figure out what type of mouse you have.

If you have a standard PS/2 mouse, try configuring your /etc/XF86Config to
use the /dev/pms0 device and the "BusMouse" protocol.

If you have a Microsoft scroll mouse, try the /dev/pmsi0 device and the
"Wsmouse" protocol.

Also, you may find some helpful information in the XF86Config manual page.

Good luck.
