typically after not sensing movement after a few moments, the light 
turns off to save batteries ... at least, that's how my old logitech 
worked (can't test right now, i only have a laser mouse hooked up right 
now) ...

if scroll and buttons work, it sounds like you probably have the wrong 
protocol selected ... which one are you using?  what brand of mouse is 
this again?  tried googling for that and "xorg" or "xfree86" (i can't 
recall offhand which FC uses)? ...

also, i know i had issues with my old logitec keyb/mouse wireless combo 
because of some usb weirdness ... if i used usb for both (1 connector), 
then i had issues in fc ... if i used usb for the keyb and ps2 for the 
mouse (it has a separate dongle for the mouse, but only ps2), then it 
would work, except i could only move it vertically ... it turned out the 
issue was that the system was loading the usb modules for BOTH keyboard 
and mouse in addition to the ps/2 module for the mouse, so it got 
confused ... forced it to not load the usbmouse module and it worked 
fine ... don't know if this helps or not, but it is one weirdness i've 
run into ...
