Ok, tried again and I confirm again, no events from the mouse.

Ok, the mouse seems to answer the control commands. See the
attached files:
DIFFS: the diffs I made to put tracing into
include/asm-i386/keyboard.h and drivers/char/pc_keyb.c
DMESG-INPUT: kernel logs when input drivers are activated
DMESG-NOINPUT: good old pc_keyb.c driver :-)
At the end of each DMESG files I tried to type on the keyboard and
move the mouse. In the first you have only the keyboard events, in
the second both of them.
