I rebooted the machine, and when Grub came up, I pressed "a" to edit the 
kernel commands, and added psmouse.proto=imps, continued booting up, and 
starting switching between FC2 and Windows XP.  Then tried FC2 then 
switched to FC2.  Both seem to be working great now, and I have yet to 
see the wacky mouse start again.
