Does your mouse get stuck in the console or in X-Windows?

Anyway, if its X-Windows, I am not sure what X Windows server knoppix uses, but anyway, type in the console -

xconf

If you get a menu which allows you to configure X-Windows, enter the information about your system correctly (particularly for the mouse), and everything should work fine.

If not, open your /etc/X11/XF86Conf file, and check the Input Devices section for the mouse settings.

BTW, the correct file is /etc/X11/XF86Config (for XFree86)

if you are using X.org (unlikely), then it is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
