Have a look at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Make sure that you have this:
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
Make sure it isn't commented like so:
#InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
and you should also have this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
Not sure if this applies to you but if you install Knoppix without the USB mouse attatched it you have to edit XF86Config-4.
thank you, thank you, thank you! merci, merci, merci! it works now. anyone else who doesn't install with the mouse plugged in will also have this problem, and i hope that the 2 responses that i got regarding this question will help others in the future.
