I can't offer any help on the mouse problem.
It sounds like your system thinks the hardware clock is set to
GMT, but it is really set to local zone time. Check /etc/default/rcS
for the correct setting of the GMT variable:
| # Set GMT="-u" if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT="" if not.
| GMT=""
