Thank you this was the trick I was missing. I've done some looking
(~10 minutes) around and don't quite know how rhgb affects the mouse
but ha ... it worked and that is all I care about.
Question: How did you figure this out? I had just finished installing
kubuntu to see it worked and start comparing files. I hadn't even
considered boot options in grub.conf.
Thank you again ....
