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).
