[rescue] A question of mousing. =)

All,

I am a new Solaris user.  I am running a SPARCstation 5 with Solaris
2.6.  It starts into CDE fine, but the mouse doesn't move.  The buttons
seem to work fine, but moving the mouse is like moving a mechanical
mouse with years of gook in it.  Since the mouse is optical and the
mouse and keyboard are out of the box, I have no idea what could be
wrong with it.  Any ideas? I'm not sure that I need to configure the
mouse manually, since it worked fine for the first few seconds I used
it, and no amount of powering down or anything seems to help.  I also
tried using both plugs in the side of the keyboard.  The keyboard works
great in both, and the mouse works in niether.

Thanks,

Teresa
