Sorry to say, but this mouse problem is a show stopper. My test bed
will not come up with an active mouse in root. (Logitech, PS2). I've
tried tweaking the XF86Config by su'ing in a terminal window and then
editing the Device to include an Option to 'sw_cursor', but that
didn't make any difference. Have a curser, but it doesn't move.
Suggestions please.

Ron
