Mouse died

I was trying to get my wheel mouse working and hit test then mouse stopped, cant figure how to toggle buttons etc to get back in

then tried "rescue" but damm thing says invalid login!

KDE 3.1 desktop, is there a way to get menus up?

Not sure if this works but on freebsd you could use the numpad as a mouse. 5 for example was *click*

I tried all sorts of key combos and nothing worked.

i don't use suse so i'm not sure if this will help you any. but do you have mouseconfig? if you do, you could try doing ctrl-alt-f1 to get to text mode. login in as root and run "mouseconfig". i'm using redhat the mouse configurator tool is /sbin/mouseconfig. you may have to do some searching around though to see if suse has command line mouse configuration tool. but i guess you could try it and see. if you need to know the full path or want to check if you have mouseconfig, just type the command, "whereis mouseconfig".
