Try unplugging the mouse and receiver at boot time, and then watching
the messagse log when you plug it in. See what appears in there and if
that might give any pointers.

To watch your messages log, do the following (as root) before plugging
in the mouse and the receiver:

tail -f /var/log/messages

When you plug the mouse and the receiver in, some more lines should
appear in this file.
