Hi Alex,

Don't know which version of mdk you're using, or whether you're using 
X, or whether you're using gdm.

I have gdm set not to start on boot using 8.2, as I've found it 
conflicts with the mouse driver used by X. YMMV...

When I've had the occasional mouse failure under X, I find that popping 
out to a root console (Alt-F1) and running mousedrake solves the 
problem. Once the mouse is working, it's worth looking at the pointer 
section in /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Confi-4, whichever version of X 
I'm using). Once XF86Config is sorted, restarting X to test might be a 
good idea.

Hope this helps!
