I had a lot of trouble with mine as well. This is a known problem with
Mandrake 7.1. I do not think the older versions support USB at all. Search
on Mandrakes web site for USB or mouse and you will find it. There way of
fixing it is not the best. What I eventaly did is reinstalled Mandrake and
pick expert. This will then let you pick the USB mouse and every thing will
work fine. Another note the USB mouse will freeze during the install untill
Mandrake is reinstalled and you will have to navagate with the key board. I
do not know of a easier way but hope this will help.
