Well that answers that question! USB support IS getting worse and worse as Mandrake progresses. In 7.2 a simple kernel recompile was all it took, in 8.0 I have to switch to a console before I disconnect the mouse, and it seems it doesn't work in 8.2! There goes my plans to take another swing at Mandrake (btw it works like a champ in SuSE 7.3, since this is open source maybe you should ask them what they did).
