 From your Xorg.log:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse
	No such device.
(EE) Mouse1: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1"
No core pointer

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

So...do you have a mouse? Are you sure it works?

A few things you can do is to look for things like:

/dev/mouse
/dev/mouse0
/dev/mice
/dev/input/mice (and whatever else is in /dev/input/)

Then, you may try for example:

$ cat /dev/input/mice
(then you move the mouse, if you see some output, fine! that is your mouse).

Let us assume your mouse is /dev/input/mice, then you edit 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf by replacing /dev/mouse with /dev/input/mice.

If this doesn't help, maybe you will need to load some kernel modules, 
like usbmouse.

Finally, please please please, *fill a bug report on your distribution* 
(for slackware look http://slackware.com/contact/) summarising your 
problem, your computer and mouse model and (if you solve it) how you 
solved the problem. This will help to other people and they may point 
out an even better solution.

Cheers,

	Manuel.
