Hmm, While we're on the APM BIOS stuff....
Well I'm not sure if they are all when I move the mouse (some are at the
start, and I can't see the ps/2 module going in). ther's quite a lot
together in the middile (repeted 55, 91, 1204... I was messing... ), and
they were from the mouse (2 button ps/2), any movement or button presses
is enough.
