mouse clicks and virtual console acting wierd

[p@dirac.org (Peter Jay Salzman)]

I've never seen this before...

On a new install, when I left click the mouse on the console, I see:

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

middle clicking gives:

E EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

right clicking gives:

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


The mouse otherwise works good on the console.  It works perfectly in X.

I've never seen this before.  Why does mouse clicking produce these
characters (cut and paste in the console doesn't work at all).

Thanks,
Pete
