Red Hat stopped supporting RH8 in January 2004, it is positively ancient and security fixes are not readily available.
Newer distributions have better hardware support, so I suggest upgrading to something more recent such as:
Fedora 6 (the free Red Hat)
RHEL 4 (The commercial Red Hat)
CentOS (RHEL with the branding and support stripped out along with the price tag)
Ubuntu (desktop distro that is very easy to get running)
Debian (great support for older hardware (if that was your reason for using such an old Red Hat))

Howzit boss!
If{
USB mouse; change to PS/2
}
and vice-versa. if this doesn't work do the following:
Red Hat Setup | mouseconfig | and select the type of mouse you are using.
If you're using one of those advanced 'bluetooth' mice, you might want to settle for the standard (actually dead technology) PS/2 mouse.
Good luck
If nothing works visit the support page, the guys from REdHat reply fast... just drop them an email.
