ps/2 style keyboard & mouse

Mandrake 9.0
XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)

Boot to console. Login. Run console apps with no problem. startx
Keyboard numlock led goes off
mouse pointer appears - doesn't respond to mouse movement keyboard unresponsive
X loads apps specified in .xinitrc

Can't do anything without a mouse or keyboard except power off. Works fine for other kernels.
