...i'd say file a bugzilla but F9 is still not an official release so it may
be that it will get fixed before the final release. I would do as  suggested
above and check with the fedora-test and devel mailing list to see what they
think or you could crack open that desktop linux reference manual or try a
different mouse. Many are willing to help but generally if its not
officially released yet then you will find that people are less concerned
because many issues will get resolved before final release( or you hope so
anyway) As for another parameter you could pass at boot time , i don't know
off hand, i'd have to look up how to work around mouse detection but that i
think may mean runlevel 3 which is no gui anyway.
