Logfile output re 'No Core Pointer'.

dmesg | less

.. includes the following output regarding 'mouse' & 'kbd' 

<snip>

less /var/log/messages

.. ends July 6 (why ?) and the only mouse references (repeated 3 times)
were ..

Jul 3 <snip> tux kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common to all mice

Protocol mouse driver
Jul 3 <snip> tux kernel: drivers/usb/input/usbmouse.c v1.6: USB HID
Boot protocol Mouse driver

/var/log/syslog

.. did not contain search patterns 'mouse' or 'mice'.

As I pointed out previously, it is a USB mouse connecting through 
a PS/2 (male) adapter which may explain the apparent confusion
between the two formats .. but which is the appropriate driver or module,
why is it missing, and how do I get cursor function ('core pointer)
back ?
