This is not the answer to the quetion asked but I think this
will help. I'm assuming your problem is that you have a 
graphical login and go stright to gnome so you can't
launch mouseconfig without a mouse to help you.

Try type using one of the virtual console (this is a kernal 
feature not gnome) by pressing Shift-Ctrl and F2, (use F7 to
return. This will take you to a new text based login screen. 

I could be wrong about Shift-Ctrl-F2 ir might be Alt-Ctrl-F2.

There are 6 console you start in 1 the are accessed through
F1 to F6. This came in handy for me when I changed XFree86 
setting to an invalid mode.
