Ric,
I recently had a similar problem with my new IBM PS/2 2 button mouse, and
Kudzu occasionally behaved weird with my previous M$ 2 button serial
mouse. I eventually gave up on Kudzu and ran mouseconfig from a terminal.
This at least saw the mouse, but still no mouse action. After checking
the mouse config files (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/sysconfig/mouse)
and making sure the appropriate /dev file was there, the only thing left
was the BIOS. There I found the PS/2 mouse line with 2 choices: enable or
auto. I had previously changed it to "enable" for the new mouse. Oddly
enough, changing it back to "auto" did the trick. Hopefully something
here will work for you.
Dave.
