What kind of mouse interface do you have, is it a serial mouse or a
bus mouse. If it is a serial mouse, try the mouse interface
/dev/ttyS0 (if the mouse is connected to the first serial port) and
try the mouse protocols Microsoft, Mouseman, and Logitech in that
order.
For a busmouse use the Busmouse protocol with the /dev/logibm device
(according to the kernel's device.txt). If it is a normal PS/2 mouse
use the corresponding protocol specification with the /dev/psaux
interface.

Yes, it simply means there is no X server running.
