It turns out I had to modify my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Here is what I used
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "Autodecection"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Vendor" "USB-Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Before it listed my touch pad (this is a Dell D600 laptop) and for some
reason it was not accepting input from the USB mouse (although
/dev/input/mice was receiving data from the mouse).
Anyway its working all well and good now.

you need three stanzas of 'Section "InputDevice"' in your xorg.conf:
one for keyboard
two for mice
the first mouse is your touchpad (you said it works)
the second is your external mouse
go to the YaST control center
open Hardware -> Graphics and Display
and check if you have 2 mice configured. If not, add one.
Oops, I just see, it is not possible, to add a second mouse within SAX.
I think this is a bug and not a feature!
