Spurious mouse and keyboard craziness with kernel 2.6.13-1.1532 and 2.6.14-1.1637

I did a yum update the other day, and got, among other things,
kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.

Then my mouse and keyboard started having radmon problems.
The mouse pointer jumps around by itself and random clicks on things.
When typing, the keyboard sometimes inserts 3 or 4 characters when I 
just typed one.

I went and got kernel-smp-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4, but the problem persists.

My mobo is Asus A8V, CPU is Athlon 64 X2 4400+

I'm getting the following in /var/log/messages:

Nov 11 16:18:15 vento kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at

Any ideas ??? Or do I just need to wait for a newer kernel that isn't 
broken.
