Hmmm... I've never had such a problem, but I think it is a problem
with the mouse configuration. Probably you are using a 2 button mouse with
a 3 button protocol or viceversa.

Have you tried the sndconfig program?
To mount the floppy:
mount -t FS /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
where FS is ext2 or fat (I suppose), depending on the filesystem you have
on the floppy disk. Of course you have to be root to do that.
If you want to be able to mount the disk as a normal user, you
have to add the following line to your /etc/fstab:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide,rw 0 0
In my computer it seems to work perfectly, recognizing the filesystem you
have on the disk. Then, to mount the disk, you only have to digit:
mount /mnt/floppy
For the cdrom it is just the same. Add the following line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0
and then give the command:
mount /mnt/cdrom
If you use msdos floppies, probably the best thing for you is to
use the mtools: mcopy, mdir, etc....
If you experience problems with auto configuration of filesystems,
let me know. ;-)
