Hey preacherman,
What kind of mouse do you have? I had the same problem when recently installing RH 7.3 but it worked on mandrake 7.2. I went to logitech's site and but no drivers avail for linux. Even though I know this isn't in line with the original thread, I'd also really like to hear if anyone found a fix for this --besides of course going back to mandrake.
