I cant make my creative lite mouse work on linux

Hello,
i'm a linux beginner,so probably the problem is i haven't done the instalation right. so i'm asking for help to install it.
thanks

i forgot it's a linux suse 8.1 where i'm trying to make my mouse work

What's the problem exactly? Does your mouse not work at all or does it just not 'fully' work (e.g. scroll wheel doesn't work etc.).

Try running a search for this in the Linux forum. I'm sure there have been posts like this before.

~ishnid;

the mouse is a USB optical onewith a wheel button.like the logitech i've read in other messages,matter is that it has a blue led inside(don`t know if it is really matter or not).

the problem is:
if I switch it before start the computer the linux hangs.
exactly at the moment of detecting net, pci, or usb devices.

if I try to load the kde without a mouse connected to the pc i can't even write with the keyboard.

so I start the kde with a normal two button PS/2 mouse.
when i go to yast to configure the mouse,no one of the models shown appears to work.you see,no going crazy over the screen,no,it just don't work.even buttons or wheel button.
