[PLUG] Screwy mouse

OK Pluggers!  I have a co-worker that installed Red-Hat 7.2 on a test box.  He did the easiest install possible (ie, automatic partitioning, etc.)  The problem is that the mouse is going crazy under X.  It is a normal 2-button ps2 mouse (made by dell).  The entries in /etc/sysconfig/mouse all look fine to me, but when you go into X and move the mouse, it jumps to the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and then it looks like the button is stuck because whenever you try to move it, it opens up the foot menu (in GNOME) and then jumps back down to the corner.  Anyone have any bright ideas?  the contents of /etc/sysconfig/mouse are below:

FULLNAME="Microsoft - IntelliMouse (PS/2)"
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"

Thanks.
