Its not difficult if you know what you're doing :-)

Interesting problem. Please could you find out which version of Xarm you are
using. Also if you could send me a copy of the error log it would be very
useful. This appears on standard error if you use startx or in xdm-errors if
you use xdm. I suspect you are using Xarm #27 which (IIRC) does not have
support for the keypad mouse. One last thing you might want to try is looking
at the boot messages to check that the mouse is getting initialised correctly.
I take it you are using a standard Acorn quadmouse as opposed to a PS/2 mouse
or a serial mouse.

Cheers
