Subject: No mouse and no console video :(

Hi all, two problems
#1: The Mac-mouse is dead. While the keyboard and X-mouse work just fine.
To see what's going on I checked the ADB-bus with ADB-Prober -- under
the normal MacOS 9.04 it lists
CA OA TYPE Desc
02 02 $11 Keyboard (Adjustable D)
03 03 $01 Mouse/Trackball (Apple/other)
many Phantom devices
07 07 $02 AudioVision Control
more Phantom devices
15 02 $0E Detached Keypad
and later in MoL nothing but:
02 02 $11 Keyboard (Adjustable D)
03 03 $01 Phantom device
so I essentially lost the mouse?!
It's such a nice Mouse Systems One button one.
I've had this mouse-stuck problem before (MacOS only) and usually solve
it by
rebooting (press on/off button (under MoL I have to do it twice)
and type r(eboot)) -- but MoL exits when I do that.
The other (unrelated?) problem is
#2: MoL starts nicely on console vt9 (or by default vt8), MacOS smile and
welcome, BootX -- start MacOS -- normal icons come up (the graphics
card accelerator patches don't load, of course) and once it displays
the blank Menubar, before anything else gets drawn -- zap -- I'm left
with the textversion on vt9 -- it reads:
*** Mac-on-Linux full screen video console ***
Opening console video 1152*870, depth 32, 92.1 Hz [offs:1280,rb:4608]
Closing console video.
So I switch back to vt7 -- the standard X console -- and here is
a 640x480 Mac-Window happily running -- just no mouse (see above).
How do I keep the console video from closing -- how to restart?
And what about the mouse? (I've tried just the console device, adb on/off
but allways the same thing.)
Thanks for any pointers
Lothar
