USB Mouse

Hi All:
First time playing with Alpinelinux ...Desktop for now. Currently I need some help to get a USB mouse recognized by XFCE. dmesg shows it to be a Microsoft 2.4GHz Transceiver v6.0 device, the keyboard works and additional /dev/input entries for the mouse appear (mice, mouse0, mouse1 and mouse2) but don't seem to be incorporated. Both the native and usb keyboards work but only the native mouse/trackpad is operational. I hope this is just an Xorg.conf tweek, any suggestions would be welcome and I can post more detailed diagnostics if required.

Thanks
