I think your recent super-duper mouse is not well supported by the used
Linux 2.6.11 input drivers, sorry. I skimmed through a diff against 2.6.23
and there changed a lot. So, backporting the fixups is no option.

You could try to checkout and run l4/pkg/usbhid and plug your mouse into
any USB port. Usbhid should also be on the demo CD.

IIRC the second parameter is the initial framebuffer fill color to prevent
flickering to black during boot ;)
