Just did a HD install of DSL. It won't detect my USB mouse (it did when I did CD boot previously). What do I need to do to get it to detect my mouse.
And as a bonus, how can I also get it to detect my touchpad mouse (I'm running DSL on my Dell laptop)?Press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to return to the text mode.
Type:
xsetup.sh
and choose "USB MOUSE" along with your other preferences. Then type:
startx
to restart the graphical mode.

cbagger - thanks for the input. Tried it, input the info through xsetup.sh, but it keeps wanting to go back to the default setup once I run startx. Is there any way I can edit a config file to set my mouse to USB? If so, where is that config file?The config file is located at:
/home/dsl/.xserverrc
You can edit it directly by typing:
nano /home/dsl/.xserverrc
or
beaver /home/dsl/.xserverrc
If you want to see it inside Emelfm file manager, make sure to press the "H" button because all files that start with a "." are considered to be hidden files.
