I wasn't sure if the AUX_SET_DEFAULT section was involved, since it
doesn't have a "kbd_queue(s, s->mouse_type, 1);" statement like AUX_RESET
(should it??). I stuck a print statement in the AUX_SET_DEFAULT section,
and it was never invoked during my test in win2k, but AUX_RESET was run 4
times as win2k started up.

So I'd say just edit the AUX_RESET section (patch in previous email). 
Thanks for your help guys!
