Select the proper mouse and use Tab key and click OK. This will restart usb services including your mouse and keyboard. Enter: exit to logout root and then press Alt(+)F7 to return to the GUI login and your mouse should work. After you are in check the file /etc/sysconfig/usb. If it shows: mouse=no keyboard=no You need to edit both entries to read =yes Charles
