Get a command line (Alt + f1); log in as root; give command sax2 and then 
reconfigure your mouse.  You may be asked to go to run level 3; if so do 
init3.

I had the same problem with a Intellimouse explorer connected via a USB to PS2 
adaptor.  It seems to work better as PS2.

You can get information about your mouse through hwinfo --mouse

This worked for me, thanks to Suse installation support by telephone.
