[Techtalk] Mouse makes keyboard disappear

[Brenda Bell]

I just did a clean install of Mandrake 8.2 on a box where I've
successfully run Mandrake in the past.  Everything works great until I
touch the mouse.  As soon as I move the mouse, the keyboard goes dead.
 Both are PS2.  Note that this happens from run level 3 before I
launch X.  The only hardware changes are increased memory (512Mb) and
a larger hard drive (80Gb).

Any ideas as to how I can fix this (or troubleshoot the problem) would
be greatly appreciated.
