mouse issues
 
I have just installed Red Hat 7.3
During installation my mouse worked perfectly before and after choosing the correct mouse type.
However, when I boot to the GUI my mouse is inoperable.
I have to navigate with the keyboard.
How can I fix this?

"How can I fix this?"

You have the wrong mouse type set in /etc/X11/XF86Config. You can edit /etc/X11/XF86Config with a text editor and change the mouse type.

I chose the exact model from the list of mouse during installation but I think the problem might be that I have picked a usb instead of serial.
Do you know how to change this?

just become root
print "setup" on command line
and change the mouse configuration
