1. cat your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4, i dunno, never used mandrake). what's the entry under "InputDevice" ?
If i were a betting man, i'd say it looks something like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
if so, try changing
Option "Protocol" "PS/S"
so it reads
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
and change
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
so it reads
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
that should fix it, i think. again, as i haven't used mandrake, i dunno if it's going to automagically figure out what module to load, so you might have to lsmod and make sure that the following modules are loaded:
usb-core
usb-uhci (or i think usb-ohci on some systems, but i'm not sure)
input
usbmouse
mousedev
hid
not all of those may be necessary, they're just what i have loaded, but my system is unusal b/c i use both the touchpad and a usb mouse. but if you modprobe all of those modules and have your xf86config file right, you should be set.
if not, post your "InputDevice" sections for /etc/x11/xf86config as well as the output of lsmod, and we'll see if we can't figure out what's wrong.
