Thanks, Chris.

I checked the website thoroughly and my wanderings for answers took me 
back to the same warning you refer to. The warning says that "The fix is 
to upgrade to a new kernel....Make sure it is 2.4.22 or newer. " The 
kernel that is installed with YDL 3.0.1, using the CDs provided by 
Terrasoft, is 2.4.22f, which is, according to the warning, compatible.

The symptoms I get are strictly related to the mouse, USB or ADB, Mac 
original or after-market. I also spoke with a Mac OSX user, who also 
just upgraded to 10.2.8, and he has exactly the same problem.
