Mandrake 10.0

whew, scared myself for a minute, thinking mandrake wouldnt offer it for free anymore.. (boy was i wrong) anyways, i got myself a hold of mandrake 10.0 community version off a friend since i didnt want to download the official.. (it's not much different is it? plus i had faster access to community)

anyways, i load up to the user select screen, and my mouse drops.. no mouse whatso ever.. any ideas on what i can do to fix it? (its just a standard mouse through the green port on the motherboard)

I tried a couple things, the first was a USB mouse, and yes that worked great.. then I unloaded the mouse drivers, then reloaded my standard mouse driver into it and what do you know? it works! all I had to do was reload the mouse driver to get my standard mouse working.. (friend let me use his USB mouse to do this)
