Hi,
to help you we need some more infos, for example:
What Mandrake version do you have OR/AND what XFree/Xorg version
what happens if you try to use it?
What kind of mouse is it (USB, PS...), how many buttons?
Can you copy and 'post' the file in the /etc/X11/ directory named:
XF86Config OR XF86Config-4 OR xorg.conf
It defines the configurations for the graphical session and in particular the mouse definitions.
Can you also post the output of such commands:

ls -l /dev/mouse*
ls -l /dev/mice*
ls -l /dev/usbmouse*
ls -l /dev/usb/*

Ciao, Leo
