mice and keyboards are two different things entirely. The keyboard
should definitely work; I would be really surprised if this is not
the case...

It should work; I have successfully run MOL with ps2 hardware (this code hasn't
been tested all that much though). In any case, something like the following
should be added to /etc/mol/molrc.input:

	mouse_device:		/dev/psmouse
	mouse_protocol:		ps2
