You can try putting "MOUSE=yes" into your /etc/sysconfig/usb file (if it isn't already there). Are you using a USB hub or KVM switch, or is the mouse plugged directly into a motherboard-connected USB slot?

[expert] no USB mouse in 9.1
I've got an nforce2 board (Asus A7N8X) and a Microsoft optical usb mouse. My mouse config: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection The usbmouse modules wasn't loaded, but I loaded it and restarted X with no luck. Also tried it with /dev/input/mouse. The mouse worked fine during the install (and in Redhat 9.0). The kernel that comes with Mandrake is new enough it should have support for the usb chipset, but I could be wrong (redhat often back ports stuff from new kernels after all). Anyone know the fix?
