I am running Suse Linux 7.2 and I,m unable to use the mouse after it boots. during the boot process it is working fine. I'm also running Windows XP and the mouse works with no problem in windows.

please advise!

What kind of mouse do you have?

The mouse is the three button roller ball "micro"

Is it a USB-mouse or a standard PS/2-mouse?
(that is; if it isn't any older

)

And what do you mean by:

I get the idea that what you're experiencing is somewhat the same problem I had recently when installing my USB Logitech Mouseman Optical...

It's a PS/2 mouse, I'm booting Linux with the install CD and as I walk through the set up I'm am able to use the mouse to choose the options that system setup requires to boot the system. It's not till after I select boot an existing Linux installation that I loose all mouse functions.
the curser immediately goes to the very top of the screen no matter which way the track ball is turned.

please advise.
