I just looked, and haven't found a mouse problem.  after a normal startup, it 
ran for a couple of hours, then suddenly stopped working and spewed the
following:  

Fatal server error:
Hung in ApmSync()


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
xdm error (pid 5295): Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly: 1


additional attempts to launch yield:
Fatal server error:
Hung in ApmSync()



Due to the way xdm crashes (the blink-thing), i have to telnet in to kill xdm 
. . .
