Mouse - strange bevaviour

[Grosswiler Roger]

Hello all,

i have a compaq proliant with a micorsoft intellimouse ps/2-style rev.
1.2A.

While installing, i had no mouse at all - so no problem, lets install it
later. 

So, when i finished installing and rebooted the machine, i could move
the mouse - until the moment, my server entered in runlevel 5 (from the
screenwhere you see your services starting.)

No problem, i thought, taking redhat-config-mouse, changing onto the
mentionned mouse, should work....was quite positive thinking as it does
not work at all.

But why, why, why, did the mouse work while booting the machine from the
first gui-screen until the launch of runlevel-specific services??? 

Any help is very, very appreciated.

BTW. gui looks even nice....

Cheers,
Roger
