It is a PS2 mouse that was not visible during original WBEL 
install.  I can only find the file /etc/udev/rulses.d/50-udev.rules, 
but have no idea what to do with it.  The only line that has MOU on it says:

KERNEL="mouse*", NAME="input/%k"

Is a reinstall of WBEL4 the cleanest "no brainer" way to do this?
