OK, Even though i have to boot into failsave, it wont recognise my IBM Optical mouse. Any suggestions?!?

Q: I use a Microsoft Wireless Intelli Mouse explorer (Optical, USB) and the mouspointer won't move.

A: Open a Root-Console (Control-Alt-F2) and enter the following:

modprobe -r usbmouse
modprobe hid

Pressing Control-Alt-F5 will bring you back to KDE.
