I banged my head on my desk after upgrading from 3.x some time back trying to figure out why the mouse always went crazy and then after a fraction of a second disappearing... Don't ask me what is happening with it, but the above mouse section fixes it [you will although lose the mouse in the VTY, and DO NOT LOAD MOUSED!]... jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
