After trying all kinds of unnatural acts I couldn't find anything that appeared out of order but the mouse just plain didn't work. I finally decided to try the obvious and unplugged the mouse and rebooted. kuduz noticed that I no longer had a generic PS/2 mouse installed and asked if I what the config removed...I did. After the system came up I plugged the mouse back in and again rebooted. This time it noticed that I had new hardware and wanted to configure a generic PS/2 mouse...I did. After this the mouse worked fine. I still have no idea what went wrong??? I noticed that the card was using the vesa driver. I was going to ask what the support status was for accelerated drivers but you beat me to it.
