Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for the mouse input device.

Look for the section "InputDevice" for the mouse. Specifically the line:

    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

See if your option is set to point to a single mouse device change it to
the above "mice" device. The above let's you use multiple mouse devices.

From your dmesg output I would venture to guess that it's not a
problem with the device being recognized/registered. It's most likely
has to do with your xorg.conf.

HTH,
