did your old mouse work before? Try plugging in your old mouse and restarting, then go into mandrake 9.1 control center and then select the new mouse you want to use and then plug in the new mouse and restart. Is the logitech USB?

You can navigate without a mouse. After your session starts, hit the Windows key on the keyboard, use the up/down cursors to get to Terminals - Xterm, then su to root, and type in mousedrake . You can choose your mouse here, use the tab button to highlight OK, and close the terminal with alt-F4. Then logout, press alt-E to restart the X-server, and login again. If the mouse setting you chose doesn't work, try another....
