One way is to get into console mode (obviously) when you login, don't start any X services.

Then, run the command line setup program that the Linux distro comes with. I don't use Redhat or Mandrae, sorry..... I'm a Slackware kinda person. What are you using? Slackware? If so, you can run setup from the command line and configure your mouse from there.

The mouse config screen looks (something) like this (cut and paste screen dump) slackware[/B] using setup :

x This part of the configuration process will create a /dev/mouse link x

x link later if the mouse doesn't work, or if you switch to a x
x different type of pointing device. We will also use the information x
x about the mouse to set the correct protocol for gpm, the Linux mouse x
x server. Please select a mouse type from the list below: x

The above is a quick cut-and-paste of the curses text, but you get the idea.

Alternatively, you can just go to your /dev/ directory and see what your mouse is currently linked to and post it here for suggestions.

input-linux-mouse

input-linux-mouse(7)							GGI						      input-linux-mouse(7)

NAME

       input-linux-mouse - Direct mouse input

SYNOPSIS

       input-linux-mouse: [<mousetype>] [,<file>] [,[b<bauds>][r<rts>][d<dtr>]]

DESCRIPTION

       This input opens a file (usually a device file or pipe) and reads mouse protocol data from it.

OPTIONS

       mousetype
	      Indicates what type of mouse is attached.  The following types are supported:

	      o   ms, Microsoft : Two button Microsoft compatible mice.

	      o   ms3, IntelliMouse, mman+ : Serial Intellimouse or compatible. Supports four buttons for mice like the Logitech MouseMan+.

	      o   MouseSystems, msc : MouseSystems compatible (used in most 3-button mice).

	      o   Logitech, logi :  Used in older Logitech serial mice.

	      o   mm, MMSeries :    MM series mice.

	      o   Sun : Sun mice. The protocol is the same as 'msc' protocol except it used only 3 bytes per packet.

	      o   MouseMan, mman :  MouseMan protocol.

	      o   BusMouse, bm : Non-PS/2 busmice.

	      o   LinuxUSB, lnxusb : IMPS2 that doesn't choke on USB (no init attempted).

	      o   ps2, PS/2 : PS/2 mice (most non-serial mice use this protocol)

	      o   imps2, IMPS/2 : PS/2 IntelliMouse and compatible (not USB, see lnxusb for that.)

	      o   mmanps2, MouseManPlusPS/2 : PS/2 Logitech MouseMan+ and compatible.

	      Most of the strings supported by GPM, SVGAlib and XFree can be specified.  If you find one that isn't, please report.

	      The  special  value  auto  tells input-linux-mouse to read ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse, and if that fails, $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-
	      mouse.  If none of the two files are found, input-linux-mouse tries to auto-detect the mouse, and as a last resort  uses	the  mouse
	      information specified in /etc/vga/libvga.config.

       file   The file to read mouse protocol data from; defaults to /dev/mouse.

       baud   Baud rate of mouse device.

       rts    Turns off RTS if set to 0; turns RTS on if set to a number greater than 0.

       dtr    Turns off DTR if set to 0; turns DTR on if set to a number greater than 0.

FEATURES

       o   Generates evPtr* events.

FILES

       ~/.ggi/input/linux-mouse and $sysconfdir/ggi/input/linux-mouse consists of the following entries:

       mouse mousetype
       mdev file

       where mousetype and file has the same semantics as the invocation options of the same names.
