Please excuse the real newbie question -- I am not sure where to look
beside the list for help

I am trying to resolve the issue with my mouse that is noted in the
bugzilla article listed above, and the prescribed fix is to add the line
shown to my boot options, which are noted to exist in the GRUB.CONF
file.  The bugzilla thread says to put it in the kernel line of the
grub.conf file.  Below is my grub.conf file and as you can see, it has 2
kernel lines both of which have options attached.  What do I do? (I feel
like such an idiot having to ask)  I am hesitant to make changes without
being sure of how to do it, as having to rebuild this machine would put
a significant dent in my available time

Thanks for your help
