No, it appears that something happened to the config for the mouse.  I
ended up unplugging the mouse, rebooting, removing the config, plugging
the mouse, rebooting, and accepting the new config.  That fixed it.

I had tried to run the mouse config program on its own but it always
crashed.  kuduz had more success!

Glad to see that the next release of XFree86 will support the card. 
Accelerated drivers aren't a big deal for me on this system.  Afterall,
this card replaced a Voodoo2 tnt2 Nvidia chip that was connected to
another 3Dfx card!  Virtually anything is likely an improvement.
