I have a genuine Microsoft PS/2 mouse (the old squared-off style) which 
does the same thing.  What Protocol should I try with it?  I ran Xsetup 
and chose PS/2.  It works fine with SVGAlib but not X (in BL2).   I 
finally just used another PS/2 mouse.  A third one did not work at all 
even in SVGAlib.  Serial mice have always worked right.
