[TriLUG] Install different mouse

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

THANK YOU, this fixed the problem!!

~wab~

Thanks also to the others with the concerns RE KVM switch... I had
already tried switching the console (ctrl+f1-f7) but forgot to mention
that in my cry for help. :)

Happy Friday!

Go to a text console (ctrl-alt-F1), log in, and run
'redhat-config-mouse'.
