Fixing the mouse for Debian Unstable and Virtual PC 2007

I upgraded Debian to unstable for the new boost libraries and in hope that a new xorg would allow the S3 video drivers to display in something better than 1024x768 resolution. No luck there.

My mouse stopped working too. This has been reported for the new Ubuntu and the fix is the same for Debian unstable as it is for Ubuntu: include "i8042.noloop" as one of the kernel parameters on boot.
