Question usb mouse red hat 7.3


i just installed linux red hat 7.3 on a zt1210 HP notebook. My computer has a touchpad and a USB mouse. At the time of the installation, the installation program detected the usb mouse but it didn't work throught the whole process. After finishing the installation succesfully, there is no response from the usb mouse or the touchpad. I can just see the arrow icon centered in the middle of the screen but it doesn't react to the mouse movement.

This is the first time I use any version of Lynux so I would really apreciate if someone answered in a "very simple" manner.
