Unhappy Problems with USB optical mouse in mandrake 9.0


My USB MS Optical wheel mouse doesnt seem to be working with mandrake 9.0. The touch pad works fine. I tried configuring it using mouse drake, where it recognised it as "wheel" under USB. But it still doesnt work. I wud like both the touch pad and optical mouse to work at the same time. Can anyone help me here??

I have also tried the "hid" stuff mentioned in one of the posts, but that doesnt seem to be work either. The mouse part of my XF89Config-4 looks as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection

----------------------------------------------------------------------
