On my computer mandrake 9 recognized the usb mouse on install but not the pointer. When I ran harddrake2 after it picked up the pointer as well.
On earlier versions of mandrake I had to add the lines in manually. Be careful using any of the mandrake configuration utilities on pre 9.0 versions. For me they would rewrite the entire XF86config-4 file and I would lose my usb mouse. Man 9 doesn't seem to have this problem.
