If so, you might have to investigate using gpm as a go between. Maybe X
just doesn't support your mouse. For example in the gpm man page:
-Rname
Causes `gpm' to act as a repeater: any mouse data received while
in graphic mode will be produced on the fifo `/dev/gpmdata' in
protocol name. In principle, you can use the same names as for
the `-t' option, although repeating into some protocols may not be
implemented for a while. In addition, you can specify `raw' as
the name, to repeat the mouse data byte by byte, without any
protocol translation. If name is omitted, it defaults to `msc'.
Using gpm in repeater mode, you can configure the X server to
use its fifo as a mouse device. This option is useful for bus-
mouse owners to override the single-open limitation. It is also
an easy way to manage those stupid dual-mode mice which force
you to keep the middle button down while changing video mode.
The option is forced on by the `-M' option.
so you set up X to read from /dev/gpmdata instead of /dev/mouse, it
might allow some functionality that you wouldn't have otherwise.

I don't think there is one per se... but I could be wrong.
