I modified mouse.c to handle the PS/2 protocol. with the Microsoft setting
you will see input if it's there, although it's garbage.

I saw this once today, but thought it was my patch to swap the Caps Lock
and left Ctrl keys. I suppose the problem is in the fact that the stub
is in real mode and we switch to protected mode immediately after
installing it. However, I can't get my mouse recognized at all without
the stub.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Is this initialization code sacrificed
after the mode switch?
