Hi,

Thanks for your help.  I did what you suggested.  A
dialog box popped up to choose the mouse type.  The
right one was highlighted so I just pressed pf12 to
move to the next screen. The dialog box went away. 
Two lines of diagnostics are showing on the console:

Shutting down console mouse services:   ok
Starting console mouse services:  ok

What should I do now?
