I wouldn't expect you to have any problems getting that to work, unless they've done something very non-standard with it. Does anything show up in dmesg when you plug in the dongle? Do you have another mouse on the system? X may not be configured to handle multiple mouse inputs.

That's quite strange, isn't there any error message?

At the company I work at, one or the IT techs (not employed here any more) was using a wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse quit working, he rebuilt his system, it ended up being low batteries.
