I started to install Ubuntu last night, but just like all the other dists I've tried to install, they never recognize my little Microsoft usb laptop mouse (the little silver and red one). My ps/2 mice work but I don't want to have to switch mice back and forth. 

Anyway, does anyone know of a way to get Ubuntu to boot up supporting a USB mouse? I can do it manually, but I have to use the ps/2 mouse first which I don't want to do.

I'm trying Ubuntu 6.10 for PC. 

Thanks, Weldon
