Windows 3.1 should have its own mouse driver, which theoretically should pick up most PS/2 mice.

But in reality, intellimice are newer gen laser mice, and may not be 100% compatible with 16-bit environments/OSes such as Win3.1.
And the worst part is [as we all know] MS does not provide 16-bit Windows drivers for newer hardware.

Try [if not already] a few DOS based mouse drivers:

they might just work.
Also, this server:

has a plethora of mouse drivers, some even for Win3.1.

Hope this helps.
