I have a Thinkpad i1400, so this doesn't apply directly to you but I think 
you should try it anyway.  Go into BIOS and make sure that Screen Expansion 
is enabled (that's what the option is on my computer anyway).  As for the 
mouse, Mandrake automatically detected my trackpoint so long as I had no 
other mouse plugged in.  Try unplugging your mouse and then rebooting.
