	A friend on -questions suggested that hal might be interfering.
	I axed it from /etc/rc.conf.

	Given that both mouse+keyboard are USB, what port should I be
	using... ?  I have tried editing my xorg.conf file.  Zip so far.

	I'll have my wife switch from my "Logitech" to an el-cheapo M$
	USB mouse.  See if anything happens...

	thanks,

	gary
