Try the above. You should be able to see what It detects the mouse as 
and IIRC it will still write out the X config[1] file. Then it just a 
matter of reading the file with a text editor, finding the mouse 
entry[2] and copying it to the X config file under Mandrake.

p.s. If you want you can try some of the mouse config's below

[1] should be /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 under Knoppix.
[2] Mine gives 3 sections. A serial, PS/2 and USB mouse section. From 
memory it has all 3 as fall backs but if you have a PS/2 mouse it should 
be correct under that section.

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Serial Mouse"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "Microsoft"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
         Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
         Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
	Option      "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
         Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
         Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier      "USB Mouse"
         Driver          "mouse"
         Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
         Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
         Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
         Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
         Option          "Buttons"               "5"
EndSection
