My MDK experience was that it found the mouse just fine - however you 
HAVE to scroll the wheel when the installer asks.. and in 99% of cases 
the generic PS2 Scrollwheel mouse setting worked with most mice.

I had the optical wireless MS Mouse, which worked fine except for an 
issue that was common to Windows and Linux - it would forget to pass 
mouse clicks on, and so you couldn't click anything. However as I said 
that was a hardware issue as I've seen many of these mice do it in 
Windows, and this one also did in Windows when tested on another pc.

Its now dead, as in a fit of pique I threw it against a wall ;-) I now 
use a cheapy Packard Bell wireless mouse.... though for good cheap 
cabled optical mice the Memorex ones are hard to beat...
