Ok, major video hdwe breakage since then, the gforce2 cards memory
decided to suffer from alzheimers at an early age.  This card had
been 'cold blooded' for over a year, giving trashed video till it
got warmed up.

Yesterday a blowtorch wouldn't make it work.  I took the mobo out
and took it to the tv station where Dave C's somewhat more steady
hands could pull and check a few of the caps on the motherboard,
but they were all good as gold.  Putting 2 and 2 together and coming
up with 'bingo' I stopped at Circuit City and got a new video card,
a Radeon 9200 SE 128 meg card labeled Xtacy or some such.  It
posted from a cold start, something its not done in 2 years!

Although it didn't boot, the cmos battery
must be going.  Got that in short order, then ran a make menuconfig
in /usr/src/linbux-2.6.7-mm6, killed the nvidia stuff and turned
on the radeon stuff, rebuilt & rebooted.  Had to hack at the kudzu
generated XF86Config as it defaulted to a 640x400 screen 16 bit
screen best described as Butt Ugly and certainly nearly useless.

Got that back up to 1600x1200x24 bits, and was reading the mail
(darned near 4 megs of it) about 30 mins ago when it did it again.
The leds in the mouse go completely out, and the pointer is
frozen in place.

There is no guarantee that the usb mouse is even plugged into the
same usb port as it was before it was all torn down last night.
And no guarantee that it isn't, its on of the two back of the mobo
ports on this board

In any event, here is the revelant piece of the /var/log/messages
file covering the loss of the mouse.

At which point I rebooted again to recover.  Is this trace of
any help at all?
