MOL freeze on startup

[Arch and Cath]

Finally managed to get mol 0.9.65 recompiled and running under kernel
2.4.19-4a.   Everything goes fine during the boot up screens.  The desktop
with clock appears and then the mouse freezes.   The first time there was a
message about not recognizing adb so I changed the mouse to USB.   Same
problem.  The console had the following message:

Starting in video mode 800*600, depth 32, 74.9 Hz  [offs:0, rb:3200]

Is the mouse message at the end significant or is that just an artifact of
shutdown?
