Which company's mouse you are using? Also how do you connect - USB or PS/2 port?
Almost all well-known companies like Logitech, Microsoft, SamSung, etc., are very well
supported.

when on live cd,get a terminal.then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to include a "autops2" option in the line matching:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        [U]Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"[/U]
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection
on underlined line end replace with autops2 and try reloading X server by pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace.

open the run box by pressing [alt]+[f2] and type the following exactly,
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
this will open a configuration file in a text editor. In UNIX-like operating systems configurations are modified by editing text files, so were going to edit a file now. In that file, locate this section,
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
...
EndSection
In the Option "Protocol" line mark the following changes and then save and close that file. Then press [ctrl]+[alt]+[bkspace] to restart xdm and the xserver.

First try this one,
Code:
Option          "Protocol"              "Auto"
it must work, if it doesn't work, perform the procedures above and try the subsequent ones.
Code:
Option          "Protocol"              "Microsoft"
or
Code:
Option          "Protocol"              "Logitech"

@Ishan, Open the Terminal Window & type:

$ sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_back.conf

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Make the changes like @Prakash & @Satissh has said. Save the file.

Now, run the following command:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I face the same problem in kubuntu...I have an iBall mouse..

But the bigger problem is that my keyboard too is not detected in kubuntu

I tried kubuntu 6.10...but both my mice and keyboard are working in ubuntu 6.06...

What should I do?
