You must to have a Powerbook 2005.

The mouse of this powerbook is USB and not ADB and can not to be
configuated by Linux in YellowDog or any other distribution, the model
is too new. The solution is to get one USB mouse and connect it
externaly. I did it myself and all work fine.

YellowDog ppl is promising a fix soon (new kernel may be).

Hope this help.
