replay on USB mouse

Hi:
thanks for the good reply. I am using an optical USB three button mouse and I knew there is a configuration at initial installation where you can choose. I really wish I can do it like in Red Hat you can simply re-configure mouse, however to install a whole system for changing a USB mouse seems a little bit overwork, I do not care this work but I just want to learn things as to get it working with minumum work.

I will try to do what posted here thanks guys
