Just to double-check.  Does the mouse work under Windows?  If so, that 
eliminates any questions about hardware issues.  Have you asked the OEM? 
  They may say that they don't support Linux, but you might be able to 
pry some info out of them by explaining that you're not asking them to 
help you configure it, you just need the tech data so you can do it 
yourself.  (Offering to share how you did it with them might not be a 
bad idea and might even get you more help from them.)

Good luck, and keep us informed.
