[SGVLUG] FC 5 no mouse

[Don Saxton]

ok, I got me in a bunch over this.

This machine had fedora core 3 with the mouse working. Now doing a fresh 
install of FC 5 I get no mouse through the install process and none in 
gnome. In gnome the mouse pointer is there but it doesn't move ( even 
when I move the mouse ;) ).  Then I switch to text mode (runlevel 5) and 
still have no mouse. 

mouse is connected to the ps2 plug and I have tried two m$ mice. Both 
worked on FC 3.

dmesg happily reports mice: ps/2 mouse...

at this point I am lost. What make a mouse run?
