Because in mine, I usually plug and unplug my usb mouse without any problem. Yes, Mdk usually will ask about hardware configuration, and I always choose 'cancel'. If we choose 'Yes' it simply prensents us the configuration menu of the mouse. To solve your problem, I think you can use drakeconf, but first it's better if you do it in text mode since your tab key doesn't work, use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go to a console, and execute 'drakeconf' as root. TO go back to X, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 HTH, Fajar.
