I can confirm the lack of mouse input on 10.6.1, at least with my Microsoft
one, which I use with USB Overdrive (as the Microsoft driver doesn't get on
very well with VMWare Fusion).  This is down to the way that Allegro detects
mice.  It enumerates USB devices, looking for usage (whatever that is)
0001:0002.  If it finds one of these, it enables mouse input.  My MS mouse
comes back as 000C:0001, so no mouse input for me.  If you change the
src/macosx/hidman.m file within the Allegro source, you can get MS mice to
work - I'm not sure whether this means that "normal" mice like Apple's
Mighty Mouse will then stop working.

(I used a utility from Apple's web site to figure this out (HID Explorer) -
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/HID_Explorer/index.html.)

The first time I ran it, it prompted me for my password as well.  Was this
to install the kernel extensions for tun/tap or something?

I didn't have that much of a play, as the absence of mouse control makes it
rather difficult to do anything, but this looks very promising, especially
the introduction of networking support and dynamic compilation.
