Arthur my dear boy, I fear you're a little too used to asking the distro
question. Check out the title (:

Good advice.
You definately need to get your keyboard working again, posthaste. Anything
that lets you boot up and fix your xf86 config file should prove handy.
Aside from that, could you describe what you mean by your mouse "not
working?" Is there a visible pointer? Do you mean that there is no visible
effect at all from doing stuff with the mouse, or that weird things happen
when you move it?

Aside from ctrl-alt-f1 or using linux text or something from lilo, if you can
get to your /etc/inittab file you can change the one line from
'id:5:initdefault:' to 'id:3:initdefault'
You've got available the following runlevels, as explained in many places
(including /etc/inittab):
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by Mandrake Linux are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
Good luck.
