Mouse not working until second login

| Any ideas?

My mouse if finicky too -  It's happened on every box I've had so in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local put:

killall gpm
/usr/sbin/gpm -R msc -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 -S ""

Drop the  -S "" if you don't want any fancy reboots or other slectable
effects. If you hold leftbutton down and click the rightbutton three
times you can reboot - it's better than hitting the power switch when
all else fails.

You might want to turn the above into a script if you habitually
encounter recalcitrant rodents.
