So  in that case my system is messed up. How I can install mouse again?

I used mouseconfig, but it dosn't have any affect on the mouse. Even if I
choose no mouse, the mouse continues work. Also that mouseconfig doesn't
change Xorg.conf -file.

How I can say to the system, I want to reselect what kind of mouse I have?

I realised that always when i login first time, the usb mouse doesn't work.
When I logout then the usb mouse starts to work
