Welp, here is the setup and fix (I think)....

The wireless base has both the keyboard and mouse cords that go to the
system.  The mouse cord is a USB cable, in which I was using a usb/ps2
adapter (came with the wireless desktop system), since there wasn't a
whole lot of usb ports on older systems.

Well, I tried a regular standard mouse, and that worked.  So upon
relooking at the wireless mouse, I decided to try the USB cord instead
of the adapter and it worked.  I looked up the hardware and it looks
like it even detected it as a MS Wireless Desktop mouse, which is what
it is.

Sooo, wonder why the adapter was throwing it off?

Anyway, seems to be running fine, and will continue testing Dave's newer
kernels now :)
