[RndTbl] mouse failure on bootup

[S/C Conway]

G'Day,
    I turned gpm off in an attempt to eliminate possible variables.

    Enclosed is the mouse configs from:

XF86Config-4
 Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "Microsoft"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

XF86Config
    Protocol    "Microsoft"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"

    Attached is a tarball of the Xfree log files.
XFree86.0.log is the log when the mouse is working
XFree86.0.log.bak is the log when the mouse is not working
XFree86.0.log.diff is the difference between the two.
