How to setup mouse instead touchpad in Linux
I have a notebook, with touchpad, and an external mouse, connected over PS/2, or USB.
When I have installed Linux (Mandriva), only the touchpad is working well, mouse not.
So, my question is, how to do configuration in order to mouse works as well??

If you plug in the usb mouse is it recognized (lsusb),
does an extra /dev/input/mouseX get created?
You might need extra kernel drivers loaded before it works
(should be autoloading though)
what does lsusb show?
what does dmesg show after plugging a usb device
what does ls -l /dev/input show?
any error messages from udev/devfs daemons?
